Charlotte Gill’s Podcasts Review 1) Nick Robinson with Rachel Reeves, Steven Edginton with Jordan Peterson

In this new feature, we look at some of the most memorable podcasts of the last few weeks.

Daniel Hannan: Forget Rayner and ‘scum’. It was Reeves’ interview this week that revealed why Labour is unelectable.

Here, in a nutshell, is why Labour is struggling to make progress. Its obsession with identity politics puts it at odds with the majority of British people.

WATCH: Reeves – Sir Keir “will take us into the next election”

The Shadow Chancellor disagrees with the claim that the Labour leader has a deadline of September to improve his performance.

Labour’s Tory sleaze accusations look hypocritical, and – even more interestingly – aren’t landing any blows

The party has its own history of politicians with close links to business.

WATCH: “Tory sleaze is back and bigger than ever”, says Reeves

“I don’t want any stone to go unturned in these investigations”, warns the Shadow Cabinet Office Minister.

Test and Trace has been messy and expensive. But let’s not write it off yet.

Furthermore, critics of the programme are alarmed by the rising costs. But will they ever acknowledge that ‘lockdown sceptics’ warned about these?

Labour’s vaccine know-it-alls risk derailing a sensible system

Starmer, Reeves and Blair have decided they know better, as to how the vaccine should be rolled out.

WATCH: Was Labour wrong to call for the UK to join the EU’s vaccine programme? Reeves does not answer.

At least the Shadow Cabinet Office Minister “gives credit” to the Government for the “fantastic job of procuring vaccines.”

WATCH: Will Labour back a Johnson Brexit trade deal or not? Reeves takes the same route as Thomas-Symonds.

Though she says that “the most important thing is that the Government gets a deal…we want that deal to be delivered”.

Iain Dale: Cameron – blamed by Remainers, scorned by Leavers. But in many ways, he changed the country for good.

Plus: Publishing diaries – do you keep in all the salacious details, or take some out to avoid upsetting people? Sasha Swire takes route one.

WATCH: “Frankly, I don’t know what Gavin Williamson has been doing for the last three months”, says Reeves

“The Government should have been working with libraries, community centres, with leisure centres to open them potentially.”

WATCH: “It’s incredibly important that the Government takes us with it on this journey” – Reeves

“Business and schools and other need to have time to plan, and Government needs to put in a range of preparations.”

Iain Dale: Which Starmer will we get as Labour’s new leader this weekend? Radical Starmer? Or Safety First Starmer?

For his Shadow Cabinet, I would choose media friendly spokespeople, and back them up with deputies more on the policy wonkish side of things.

The prospect seems remote. But is National Government on its way?

One can conceive of Ministers seeking an all-party public front, and Labour objecting to responsibility with no power.

The 12 Tory MPs who supported the Reeves amendment (a two-year Article 50 extension)

Despite their support, the amendment fell by 322 to 290 votes.
