Emotional, messy and breathtakingly ruthless: the hidden life of Keir Starmer
When friends heard I was writing a book about Keir Starmer, there were the usual questions: does he think in anything? What’s he like? Isn’t he, they asked with a frown, a bit boring? The last of these was the easiest to acknowledge because he really isn’t dull. Starmer is good firm, engagingly funny and listens in a way that too many politicians too often fail to do.
There is, of course, a lengthy tradition of advisers (or ex-advisers like me) wailing on about how they wish more voters could see this or that candidate as we execute. But the gap between the reality and interpretation of Starmer is bigger than with most, and it cannot simply be down to the way he sometimes closes in on himself when a camera is pointed at him, or how the online snobs – largely from the left – mock his accent and call him “Keith”.

Sir Keir has faced controversy for weeks over the activities of Lord Alli who was handed a go by to Downing Lane after bankrolling a string of senior Labour politicians in the run-up to the election.
A novel book is position to shine a light on Labour peer Lord Alli's influence on government and his major roles in advising on appointments and attending talks with civil
A brilliant new guest this week as Scott Capurro makes his WMPT. For my money, Scott is one of the most genuinely controversial comics i've worked with and it was great to earn his uncompromising takes on everything from a recent Labour poll on Starmer to the fact London Pride marches aren't what they were. In the Patreon only we debate offence in comedy and why Scott might procure more than cancelled if he release one particular routine...
