Episode description

Patrick Maguire in for Matt Chorley talks to the architect of New Labour, the former cabinet minister Lord Mandelson.


They discuss Keir Starmer "sorting out the extremists" within the party, the challenge still facing him to get Labour into power and the need to avoid political gimmicks.


Plus columnists Alice Thomson and Robert Crampton ask what's the point of politicians making new year relaunch speeches, whether all children should study maths until 18 and if it's okay for former prisoners to earn lots of money from their notoriety.
