“The number of complaints we got from viewers who hated my voice…”
Robert Peston reveals to Tom Bradby and Anushka Asthana the early backlash he received and the steps he took to train his voice for broadcast in the latest Talking Politics as the team react to Keir Starmer’s own coaching - and whether it’s a problem for the prime minister or his opponents.
The bulk of the team’s discussion focuses though on the far bigger issue for our prime minister: how the UK should react to Donald Trump’s shocking plans for Gaza.
And they also talk about the continued rise of Reform and whether or not the party’s latest poll success over Labour really puts Nigel Farage’s party on course for power.
