I am a TRIP member listening to your discussion about Starmer improving his communication. How can he ensure media broadcast it as I watch a lot of news and am increasingly frustrated. When Starmer is giving a speech and we only get first few minutes and then they transfer to something less important but every night give the full White House communications at between 5/6 at night . Where they spout nothing but lie after lie . Same with Trumps White House meetings where he does the same ranting no matter who is visiting. I agree Labour have to improve communication can’t you both be advisors !
