Labour manifesto: has Sunak left UK too broke for Starmer to fix?

Labour have launched their manifesto with just two things on the cover - a picture of Keir Starmer and the word “change” - but how much change are they actually offering when it comes to the big issues of the day such as Brexit, Ukraine, the housing crisis, climate change and the economy?

Labour appears to be on course to win power with a safety first strategy that promises relatively little, leaving us relatively little to hold them to account for.

And now the Conservatives are warning of the dangers of a Labour “supermajority”.

Joining Krishnan Guru-Murthy to discuss this on The Political Fourcast are Labour’s Stella Creasy, the Green Party’s Sian Berry and Channel 4 News’ senior political correspondent Paul McNamarra.

Produced by Silvia Maresca, Calum Fraser, Rob Thomson, Nick Jackson.
