Rock & Roll Politics with Steve Richards

Keir Starmer vs Jeremy Corbyn

In which I alienate everyone.

But I also believe it was an overreaction and strategic misjudgement to suspend Jeremy Corbyn from Labour, and then bar him from being a candidate. What will the consequences be for Keir Starmer?
