Description

<div>This weekend Keir Starmer's team took the opportunity to discuss Margaret Thatcher in an op-ed for the <em>Sunday Telegraph</em>. Whilst Starmer also praised other former prime ministers – such as Tony Blair and Clement Attlee – his admission that ‘Margaret Thatcher sought to drag Britain out of its stupor by setting loose our natural entrepreneurialism', has ruffled a few feathers in the Labour party. Could this be a genius piece of politics to reach out to those on the right? Or is it a misfire? <br> <br> Also on the podcast, Rishi Sunak has started the week with the news that he has recorded his lowest rating ever in the latest ConservativeHome league table, racking up a dire -25.4 among card-carrying Conservatives. Can he turn it around? <br> <br> James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Fraser Nelson. <br> <br> Produced by Oscar Edmondson. </div>
