The ‘bin fires’ setting Labour’s in-tray alight
Manage episode 430387979 series 71036
Sir Keir Starmer plans to hand more powers to metro mayors in what has been dubbed a ‘devolution revolution’.

Plus, the group discusses an internal dossier by Sue Gray that lists potential ‘bin fires’ in the new government’s in-tray, including the prisons capacity crisis, public sector pay disputes, cash-strapped universities and the possible collapse of Thames Water.
