This is Kiera and today is a great day. I am so excited for this podcast. I am excited to be chatting with you. I feel honored. Where are we at? Are we hanging out? Are we going on a walk together? Are we getting ice cream together? Are we picking up the kids? Are we driving to work? Are we driving home from work? Are we sitting in traffic? Wherever we are, I hope it's a great day. And I hope that even if it wasn't the best day that you're choosing to make sure that today is going to be an epic day, that you're choosing yourself, that you're choosing happiness.   that you're choosing this incredible life. And you remember at one point, at one point, the life you're living is the life that you were dreaming of. And how blessed are we to be able to live this magical life that we get to. So today I just wanna walk you through how to go from a practice operator where you're doing all of it to a true CEO and what needs to change to be able to lead at the next level. So I think this is so fun because owning a practice is very, very, very different than   operating a practice, would you agree? And so like if you're still in the weeds, you're still doing the day to day, you're not yet the CEO of your practice. And so this is something where I wanted to kind of walk you through like, what does that even look like? Because for some of us, we don't even know what the destination looks like. So we're like, well, I can't even visualize it. So therefore I can't even like create it. And I want to make sure that I help you see what that path can be, help you understand what it can look like if you choose that you want to do it.   This is something where Dental A Team's mission is to truly help doctors stop running on survival mode and start leading strategically. So whether you want to be the CEO where you're out of the chair, whether you want to still be the operator where you do some dentistry, but you have the options because you know what that can look like. So that's what we're about. And today it's going to be going from busy operator into visionary, going from day to day to the big picture. And so fun because I actually was talking to a client this morning who actually it's been about a three year journey has now   rounded the bend to where they had their last day of clinical dentistry and they're stepping fully into the CEO role. And as we were chatting, we talked about how it's a mind trip. It's a full blown mind trip and how I told them, said, it's crazy because I'm actually doing this podcast today. I had already planned that I wanted to talk about this. It was so serendipitous that we chatted today. ⁓ But I said, isn't it wild how like what we dreamed of, like you go through dental school and you go through all these things. ⁓   to walk away from that, have associates, to have different people. Just like me, I consult, I still do some consulting, but I do a lot more of running the business, owning the business, and not as much in the day-to-day anymore. And I'm so grateful for the team of Dental A team that allows me to be in my sweet spot, the visionary role, to enjoy it and to allow them to be in their sweet spots. And this doctor and I, were chatting and he just said like, Keir, it's weird.   I don't even know what being a CEO looks like. And I have another doctor and he said, Garrett, it's so weird to go from being clinical all the time to working on the business, but it's so fun to work on the business and to be the CEO that can look. And as I was talking to the doctor this morning, they're thinking about doing a DSO and wondering what they want to do with that. And he's just like, you know, I don't even know. So we started talking and we were rattling off all these things. And he was like, that's what I need to be doing as a CEO. That's why I need to have the time not in the chair is so that way I can.   I can drive this business in the direction it needs to go. And so again, today's podcast is not to say that you need to step away from the chair. As you can see, there's one client who is completely out of the chair. There's another client who works one or two days clinically. Myself, I still do ⁓ a day of consulting and then I still do podcasting and I do the things that light my fire that I still enjoy doing. But there's a path of how do you get there? And it was kind of like when I used to be a treatment coordinator and a dental assistant and I became an office manager and I'm like,   I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. All of these are different layers. I almost want you to think kind of like the wifi symbol. Like you just, you go through different layers and it's different identities. And it's kind like you pop through and you look around and like, don't even recognize this neighborhood. Like I don't even recognize the neighborhood of CEOs. I don't even recognize the neighborhood of working two days of clinical. I don't even recognize the neighborhood of where my leadership team does the bulk of all the pieces that I'm doing. Like I don't actually have to do the hiring and firing anymore. I don't have to do all the one-on-ones anymore.   you pop your head up into a different neighborhood and it's a loss of identity and it's a taking on of a new identity and it's a morphing. I remember talking about this, gosh, this is like in the archives of podcasts. If you wanna go look, go to TheDentalATeam.com, click on podcasts and type in like sloughing and snake and you'll probably find it. But I talked about this years and years ago of how when you evolve from being this operator to this owner, it's kind of like a snake and you have to like literally like slough off.   the old version of you to allow space to become the version that you need to be. And so just kind of going through like, what does it even look like? And if I wanted to, or just maybe propose or think about, because I always believe like the more knowledge you have and the more, I think vision or maybe just like thought, right? Like I never even thought about it. Like I never even thought that my practice could make a hundred thousand. Like what if it made 200,000 a month or what if it made 300,000 or.   There's a practice doing 550 a month or there's a practice who's literally doing a million a month. I have an office that like all their offices are producing. They've got multi offices and they're producing between 350 and 450 a month. Every one of their offices. And I say this not for you to compare and to beat yourself up and say like, my gosh, I'm not even there, Kiera, I'm only doing 30,000. I want all of us just to say there are other neighborhoods, there are other visions. And I wanted today to just show a picture.   And then you get to pick up whatever you want or don't want from this vision. There is no right you have to get here. It's just, I want to show you and paint a picture in case you're thinking about it. So that way you look at life, look at your practice, look at your decision-making differently at whatever stage you are in your business. So there's no judgment. There's no expectation. That's something I love about Dental A Team is I've got clients that are producing 7,000 a month and I've got clients that are producing, oh gosh, like 1.2 to 2 million a month.   It's insane. I've got clients that are at 80 % overhead. Don't worry, they're brand new. All the way down to a 35 % overhead. All of us are in different journeys, we're on different paths, we have different priorities. And there's not a one size fits all in Dental A Team. It is a one size fits you. And then let's just make sure that we expand your knowledge base. That way you're making decisions educated rather than placed upon you. So step one, as you're kind of shifting into this role, is going to be...   shifting from doing to delegating. And this is something where I think as founders, as owners, myself included, we build the, like we've built this so we know how to do all the pieces and it's very hard to let go. The CEO builds the machine, they don't run every part of it. And so really thinking about that, like your job is to build the vision, your job is to do these bigger partnerships, your job is to build the culture, to be the lighthouse on the hill, but not the one rowing the boat. And so,   The way we do this is kind of like a time audit. So we write down every single thing that we're doing and we look to see who could do this 80 % as well as I can that we could delegate. And there's ⁓ in some of our other podcasts and on our summit and in some of our things, we talk about a delegation ladder. And basically we like look at administrative tasks and scheduling tasks and TC tasks and then all the way up to marketing and leadership tasks. And so how can we start to delegate these tasks out? And so you're not doing them all.   And then what we do is we have leads and we have scorecards and we have ⁓ decision pieces to help people understand what decisions they can or can't make. And what happens is when doctors start to let go of this, empower their team without letting go, so they're still in the reins, they're then able to work on growth and strategy and you're able to build the vision. You're able to have the time to go to those big networks. Like the doctor here, like Kiera, all the people you told me like, that's why I need to go make phone calls with. making those phone calls are big decisions for the business.   don't happen between patients and they're not happening after hours. They can, but when you really do shift from this, it's crazy because you start to actually have the time, the bandwidth, the depth, the breadth to be able to even think in this way. And so my suggestion is like whether you want to become this CEO that's owning the business rather than operating the business, I want you to truly look at this to see what's one task that you could delegate or even do a dump. Like this is how I first learned that I needed to hire a personal assistant.   I did a dump and I looked at every single thing on there and I like took a pink highlighter and we're like, what are the that only Kiera can do? And I realized that my list are like three out of like 50 that truly were only things that I could do. I just was obsessed with doing it. People are like, but Kiera, you let someone book your travel. You better freaking believe I let someone book my travel. I don't even know where I'm going half the time. Can I still do it if I had to? Yes. But is there someone who can do it way better than I can and can also help me have time to do other things that they can't do?   The answer is yes. So I want you to just like look to see what are you doing all the time that maybe you could delegate. Start there. This is for CEO or non-CEO. This is for every single team member, business owner out there. Dentist is literally do an audit and see what we can delegate, what we can shift to make sure that we're optimizing ourselves in the best way possible. And then number two is going to be ⁓ the CEO's job is to   literally set up the one, three, 10 year vision of the company. It is to set the culture. It is to make sure that you're evolving it. And so what you're doing is you're helping your team rally around these one, three, 10 year goals. And then we use our weekly meetings to align on those goals rather than like being constantly on fires. Like truly, there was a team I was working with and I'm like, okay, we're talking in fire land all day because we have no clue where we're going.   We're just walking in the desert with no destination. And so you have a vision for your team and you're just constantly harping on that. And so what happens is like as a CEO dentist, what you start to do is you start to do vision. We run this off of traction as my preferred method by Gina Wickman. And you start to set then quarterly meetings and weekly meetings where we're focused on this bigger vision rather than on the fire. So you really go from like,   I don't know, like head in the sand almost and like trying to just figure it out to like, where are we headed? What are the biggest issues? Like that practice, were walking around in the desert with no destination. We gave them a destination. There's still all these fires, but we can then prioritize which things need to get done this quarter and actually start to move the boulders, move the practice, move the progress ⁓ without it just being, I don't know. just, like, I use a really great analogies. It's just a like,   we're focusing on goals rather than on fires. We're going about priorities rather than like just in the minutia. And so when you start to shift this out and the way to have this is like, my question to you is what is your one year goal? What is your three year goal? What is your 10 year goal? Does your team know this? Do you know this? And I don't care what they are. There's no right or wrong, but we start to have it to where we're building it this way. We're moving in this direction. We're not moving in a, it's like a swirl when your head's   like walking in the desert, right? You're just swirling around. You don't know if you've made progress. You don't know if you're going forward or going backwards to where there's a lighthouse. There is a direction. We're moving in that way. And without that teams feel very lost. And so you start to move in that where you're, that's your focus. And then you have your meetings and you get all your departments going and they have department leads that are running them. They're all in line with the vision. And your job is to keep expanding this vision, to expand the pieces. And that does not necessarily mean expanding more practices.   but it's expanding the vision of your location of what you're doing. And then number three is ⁓ there's scalable systems in place that are not dependent upon you. And so what it is is there's consistency. So we've got consistent new patient exams, we've got consistent treatment planning, we've got consistent marketing, we've got consistent ⁓ billing and AR, we've got consistent hygiene protocols, we've got consistent room setups for all of our dental assistants, we've got consistent onboarding for associate dentists.   All of our associates are doing the same type of dentistry. And you really have these scalable systems that are in place, not necessarily put by you, but are guided by you. And so you've got these key players. So when you become the CEO, you've got to also have key players. So you've got an incredible office manager or regional manager. You usually have a personal assistant or executive assistant that's with you. You have your hygiene lead. You've got your dental assistant lead. You might even have a marketing team, depending upon if it's outsourced or internal. ⁓   But those are the players at the table. You have a clinical doctor at the table. And so we have these scalable systems where they're constantly able to be able to have the same results without the effort of needing to recreate it every single time. Like I remember Tiff and I, when we would bring on new hires, it was like, gosh, like build a new thing and build a new thing. And I was like, no.   we have onboarding documents, we've got videos, we've got the way we do it. And there's still so much autonomy within all of it. But these are systems to where at a $1 million practice up to a $20 million that these can scale. So like the way you onboard at 1 million versus the way you onboard at 20 million will be very different. And I just want you to see like, this is where we actually can assess, we can grow, we can evolve. And we've got these scalable systems. I recommend two times a year that you actually assess them. So we look at   What's our operations manual? What's our onboarding? How are those? we need to change them? Do we need to adapt them? Do we need to morph them? And so this is where we start to build it out. This is where operations manuals become very paramount because as a CEO dentist, your job is to delegate more. So you've got more time to vision. You lead with that vision and you help make sure all your leads know where they're going. They're leading and empowering their team. And I have this quote over here by Gandhi that says, a sign of a good leader is not how many followers you have, but how many leaders you create.   So as a CEO who stepped out of clinical dentistry and you're now owning the business, you're creating, you're delegating, you are leading with vision and having your ⁓ leaders in your practice and everything is systematized. Like literally everything is systematized and automated as much as possible to where the business really is running whether you're there or not. And that's the true thing. Can I remove you?   Keep the vision, so your job is to keep the vision, but I take you out, slide you out, and you're not there for a month, for two months? And would the business still perform? Would the quality care and the patient care still be as optimal? Would the billing and the overhead and the accounting, would those all work, whether you're there or not? And if we lost a key player, could we replace them with another key player and it would still run? This is how you start to create a business rather than a job. This is how you start to have team members that know   how to scale and how to evolve and how to help and serve more patients with the same quality of care that you've set up. This is where it's no longer dependent upon you being a part and like having your hands in every single pot to make sure everything's going because the pots get too big. There's too many pots for you to be able to handle. And so whether you want to become the CEO visionary owner or you want to just have less like dependent upon you, these are very tangible and tactical for you today right now where you are.   So this is where it's like, if I'm exhausted and I'm tired of running on fumes and I would prefer to have more time in the visionary role and less time in the doing role, that doesn't, again, it doesn't mean that it's wrong. It just means that you're morphing. Like again, we're popping through a new neighborhood, a new vision, a new level for you. Then this is where we just, we choose one of these things or something in all the areas and we start to implement small little changes.   that start to make big changes over time. They say the days are long, but the years are fast. And so how can we start to put little things into place to help you scale, scale your impact, scale your bandwidth, scale your time and help empower other people that are going to be able to scale right along with you. So this is a sign for you to just think a little bit differently, to start looking at the broader vision, the bigger vision, the what could be possible, and then start to put things into place today.   I do not care what your vision is. do not care what you want to do. I do not care any of those things. Whatever your vision is, is perfect for you. I just wanted to paint a picture of what could be. What are other people doing? What are maybe some possibilities to where you start to think differently, you start to create differently, you start to hire differently, you start to train differently, you start to lead differently, you start to become the next best version of you because you knew you wanted to evolve into this. No person wants to be doing every single thing and burnt out and burnt to a crisp.   No person does. Everybody wants to feel balanced, feel satisfied, to feel happy, to feel growth. Growth equals happiness. And so evolving into the next version of you is something that I feel is very paramount for you and your team to do. So think about this, on this. This is maybe a sign to think differently. And for all of you out there, I hope that you're thinking differently. And if you need somebody to coach you, to guide you, to get your team on board, you're like, gosh, I like, don't want to be in the chair as much, but I don't know how to get my team on board with that. That's what we do.   This is what we're experts with. So reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. We're happy to help you. And today I hope you just think a little bit differently. Maybe question a few things. What could I delegate? How could I look at this differently? Do I have a vision for my team? Do I have scalable systems? And if not, pick one or two that you can do. And as always, we're here to help you. We're rooting alongside of you because your ultimate vision is our ultimate. Like that's what we're passionate about. We want to help you get your ultimate vision.   So reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

“You can't call it a comeback when we never left,” says Keir Worthy, reflecting on Detroit's cultural rebirth with a mix of reverence and reality. In this in-depth conversation, Keir—designer, cultural connector, and proud Detroiter turned New Yorker—dives into what it means to carry Detroit's creative DNA across coasts while staying rooted in the spirit of home. From helping shape Crain's Detroit Homecoming to mentoring the next generation of Black designers at the Pensole Lewis College of Business & Design, Worthy unpacks how legacy Detroiters are reclaiming visibility in a city long defined by reinvention. He calls out the “cost of cool”—the price of gentrification that displaces the very artists who make a city vibrant—while celebrating the optimism of Detroit's young creators who are building new lanes through collaboration and entrepreneurship. Through stories that span from Russell Simmons' Def Jam days to the rise of Detroit's design renaissance, Keir and Khary trace how creativity, music, and faith in community remain Detroit's truest exports. This episode is a reflection on what's been lost, what's being rebuilt, and why “legacy Detroit” still has the blueprint for America's cultural future.

A bizarre briefing war has exploded in Westminster, with Wes Streeting accused of plotting a coup against Keir Starmer. Ed Balls and George Osborne analyse the ‘toxic culture' in Number 10: who was really behind the briefing, and has this ‘self-destructive' move inadvertently strengthened Streeting while fatally weakening the Prime Minister?Meanwhile, the BBC is in turmoil, with its Director General and Head of News resigning over the Donald Trump Panorama controversy. With George himself now tipped for the top job, the pair unpack the corporate governance collapse. And, can Donald Trump really win his $1 billion lawsuit against the British broadcaster?Finally, Ed and George turn to Donald Trump snubbing the G20 over his claims of a "genocide" in South Africa. They explore the deepening divisions in the MAGA movement over controversial figures like Nick Fuentes, and ask if this identity politics of the "woke right" is a brand that Nigel Farage is about to import to the UK.Thanks for listening.

Keir Starmer's conference speech is getting heaps of praise after he finally went hard against Farage. But has he done enough to show he's in control, or is the Labour messaging still all over the place? Plus, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, isn't going away.

The Prime Minister's speech may have settled nerves amongst his party, but has he opened a can of worms by attacking Reform?  Sam and Anne assess the mood of Nigel Farage and some within Starmer's inner circle - who arguably seem a bit displeased.  Plus, as conference wraps up, focus turns quickly to the deputy leadership race and things are already hotting up between Lucy Powell and Bridget Phillipson. 

New World political editor James Ball joins the podcast live from Labour Party conference in the great city of Liverpool with his verdict on Keir Starmer's make or break speech. He had his moments, but did Starmer do enough to turn around horrific personal and party polling and set up a genuine challenge to rising tide of Reform?

Sam and Anne have their Labour conference curtain-raiser - and wonder if Andy Burnham has gone a little bit into the rearview mirror as delegates turn up on the banks of the Mersey?There are already conference titbits to share - it sounds like Science and Technology Secretary Liz Kendall will get the job of implementing digital ID cards, fresh after overseeing welfare reform. And Yvette Cooper's new Foreign Office team are apparently clamping down on the use of official government planes. Sam and Anne will have their usual morning episodes from conference - plus they will be in your feed on Tuesday afternoon to debrief Sir Keir Starmer's speech.

SummaryLet's face it - Labour inherited a total shit show after 14 years of Tory misrule - an economy crippled by Brexit, immigration chaos, turds in our rivers and seas, and rapidly deteriorating public services. But - inevitably - it's Sir Keir Starmer who's getting the blame for the country's woes, thanks mainly to the the fickleness of the electorate as well as the country's evident decline. But Labour seems to have bent over backwards to help its opponents with self-inflicted wounds such as inept communications, avoidable scandal and bouts of epic political bungling.As the Labour Party Conference gets under way next weekend, Nick Cohen talks to Keir Starmer's biographer Tom Baldwin about the prime minister's leadership position within the Labour Party, examining the PM's challenges and potential future in politics.Labour needs to expose the malice and plastic patriotism of the Far RightNick and Tom discuss the current state of Labour's position, focusing on whether Sir Keir Starmer's leadership is in jeopardy. They highlighted Labour's low vote share in the 2024 election and recent poor opinion poll ratings, including a recent approval rating of minus 54 for Keir Starmer. The discussion touches on the potential leadership challengers within the Labour Party, including, possibly the current metro-mayor for Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, with Nick noting the historic difficulty of replacing a sitting Prime Minister, particularly in the Labour Party. In contrast, as we know, the Tories have never had any problem knifing their leaders in the back - or front.Both Tom and Nick explore the broader topic of combating the far right in politics. Tom says Starmer should articulate Labour values more forcefully and espouse his own more gentle and inclusive version of patriotism in stark contrast to the nationalist bombast of Nigel Farage and and the more sinister extremism of Tommy Robinson/Yaxley-Lennon.Starmer needs to articulate & lead national renewalTom says Starmer needs to be able to convincingly argue for a gentle and inclusive patriotism, to lead a sense of national renewal and take on the plastic patriots of Farage and the far right, He says, "It's not some sepia-tinted restoration of the past. It's not some like we're going to like back ruling the waves like Boris Johnson pretended, or you where the country invented liberties. So we don't need to be members of the ECHR or this nonsense."Read all about it!The paperback version of Tom's must-read bestseller, Keir Starmer, the biography, is out now with updated chapters.Nick Cohen's @NichCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.

With Donald Trump set to whirlwind into the UK on Tuesday myself and Jacob Hawley wonder out loud what could go wrong. Has Starmer slept at all in the build up? Will the King go on a weird one?

This week is a look under the bonnet of British politics, and shining a light into the dark corners of how Westminster's finances operates, and seeing if the endless pledges to close loopholes and tighten regulations after every scandal have actually led to a crackdown on illegal lobbying and undue influence on democracy.Or whether the UK remains vulnerable to illicit wealth, cronyism and financial corruption, despite Keir Starmer's pledge to clean up politics if he got into power last year.Joining host Alain Tolhurst to discuss all that are Lloyd Hatton, the Labour MP for South Dorset, as well as Sue Hawley, executive director at Spotlight on Corruption, Daniel Bruce, Transparency International UK's chief executive, and the investigative journalist Peter Geoghegan, author of the Democracy for Sale website.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot

Keir Starmer claims that growth is the only cure for a country in decline. But why is it the central obsession of modern capitalist economies? And can we think our way out of it before our planet runs out of resources? Nadia, Keir and Jem offer their weird-left take on growth, degrowth, radical abundance, ecomodernism […]

The UK has finally signed a free-trade deal with India after three-and-a-half years of negotiation. The agreement will open up trade for cars, whisky, clothing and food products, with ministers claiming it will boost the British economy by £4.8 billion. For Keir Starmer, it offers much-needed economic and political good news. For Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, it shows that the £3 trillion Indian economy is willing to shake off its protectionist tradition and open up to international investors.Lucy Dunn discusses with James Heale and Michael Simmons.

Keir Starmer has struck again. Compounding his reputation as a ruthless operator – like Michael Corleone – he is settling all family business by removing the whip from a number of troublemaking MPs, including Neil Duncan Jordan, Chris Hinchcliff, Brian Leishman and Rachel Maskell. This comes after each led respective revolts on winter fuel, planning reform, Grangemouth and the welfare changes. Rosena Allin-Khan, Bell Ribeiro-Addy and Mohammed Yasin have all lost their trade envoy roles too.Many of the MPs who have been cast adrift are from the new intake, and so today we are joined on the podcast by Mike Tapp, MP for Dover and Deal, to give his reflections on a year in office. On the podcast: he offers James Heale his advice on stopping the boats; details how Labour can start to deliver tangible change for people in constituencies much like his own; explains why Keir was right to suspend his fellow MPs; and gives us an insight into the future Labour stars from the new intake.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.We are hosting a Coffee House Shots live tomorrow (15th July) at The Emmanuel Centre in Westminster.

This week's episode of Pod Save the UK comes live from Sheffield's Crossed Wires Festival. Nish and Coco sit down with two special guests: former trader and economics commentator Gary Stevenson and South Yorkshire's Mayor Oliver Coppard. Cracking open cans of Nish, provided by local brewery Triple Point, Nish and Coco discuss the recent vote on labelling certain protest groups as terrorist organisations and the not-so-slow creep in the loss of our rights. One year into Government - backflips on Labour's Welfare Bill have led to a new round of supermassive black holes for the Chancellor Rachel Reeves to plug. Gary Stevenson gives us some ideas on how to do it… And what about tackling economic inequalities on a local level? Oliver Coppard reflects on the Government's push to go further and faster on devolution and the difficult decisions he's made to achieve his priorities for South Yorkshire. Finally, with Independent MP Zarah Sultana quitting Labour to form a new progressive party, everyone gives their two cents on what this will mean for the future of the left.

Zut alors! The French are in town. Emmanuel Macron is on his state visit this week, spending time today with the King and tomorrow with the Prime Minister. His itinerary includes a state dinner and an address to both Houses of Parliament this afternoon.All the pageantry, of course, is for a reason: to defrost what Tim Shipman calls the ‘entente glaciale' and the stalemate over migration. Keir will be hoping to get the French to sign a ‘one in, one out' migration deal – with Labour seemingly surprised that, upon coming into power, the French didn't roll over and make concessions on small boats when a left-wing government took office. Can we expect a new entente cordiale? Is there anything in it for Macron when it comes to stopping the boats?We also received the sad news today that Tory grandee Norman Tebbit and regular Spectator contributor Jonathan Miller have passed away. We remember both of them on the podcast.James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Freddy Gray.Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Megan McElroy.

Keir Starmer will have been hoping for a more relaxed week – but he certainly won't be getting one. He is facing a fresh rebellion over support for children with special educational needs (SEND), which threatens to become welfare 2.0.The plan involves overhauling the SEND system and it's another case of Labour MPs exclaiming that they didn't stand on a Labour ticket just to target the most vulnerable in society. The main concern among backbenchers is whether it should be legally enforceable for parents to ensure their children receive bespoke support. Elsewhere, all roads lead to the Treasury, as Neil Kinnock has a solution for increasing Rachel Reeves's headroom: a wealth tax. It's the idea that never seems to go away – but will it just increase the number of billionaires fleeing the country?Oscar Edmondson speaks to Tim Shipman and Michael Simmons.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
