Neil Kinnock has a lesson or two for Keir Starmer. Kinnock led Labour after its crushing 1983 election defeat, facing down the hard left and restoring the party's credibility. He says a hung parliament would be “hideous”, but if Starmer doesn’t get a majority, he should rule alone – without a coalition. His judgment on the Tories? A “drunken sailor” would look steady compared to Boris Johnson and Liz Truss. Hosted by Caroline Hepker, Yuan Potts and Lizzy Burden.
