With Steve Bracks.Journalist and former Labour Party senior policy adviser Tom Baldwin explains the complexities and contradictions of Sir Keir Starmer, Labour's most working-class leader in a generation to Steve Bracks.Sat 01 Mar, 2:30pm | West Stage

As a man with the instincts of an insurgent, Morgan McSweeney, Keir Starmer's chief of staff, has found Labour's first six months in office a frustrating time, writes The Spectator's editor Michael Gove. ‘Many of his insights – those that made Labour electable – appeared to have been overlooked by the very ministers he propelled into power.' McSweeney is trying to wrench the government away from complacent incumbency: there is a new emphasis on growth, a tougher line on borders, an impatience with establishment excuses for inertia. Will McSweeney win his battle? And what does this mean for figures in Starmer's government, like Richard Hermer and Ed Miliband? Michael joined the podcast alongside Starmer's biographer Tom Baldwin. (1:04) Next: can the AfD be stopped? Lisa Haseldine writes about an earthquake that hit German politics last week; the much feted ‘firewall' – the agreement by mainstream political parties not to work with the far-right – appeared to fall. Freidrich Merz, tipped to be Chancellor after the upcoming German elections, relied upon the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) for two votes on immigration. Cue protests and denouncements; Merz's most high-profile predecessor as CDU leader, Angela Merkel, even made a rare, political intervention to denounce the decision. Has the vote helped or hindered Merz? And has the German firewall fallen permanently? Lisa joined the podcast alongside Elisabeth Dampier. Elisabeth has interviewed the controversial AfD MEP Maximilian Krah for the magazine and writes about the man who calls himself ‘the German Donald Trump'. (21:02) And finally: the curious life of an obituary writer Mark Mason provides his notes on obituaries for the magazine this week, stating that ‘there's nothing as inspiring or instructive or entertaining about reading a few hundred words about someone's time on his planet'. What's the process behind putting an obituary together? The Times' longest serving obituary writer Damian Arnold once said, ‘The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is check to see who's dead.' Mark and Damian joined the podcast to discuss who makes for the best obituary, if there is joy to be found in celebrating death, and whether they've ever published an obituary of someone who isn't actually dead… (33:48) Presented by Lara Prendergast and William Moore. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Donald Trump has spent the week turning the world upside down again - launching a trade war with China and claiming America will take over the Gaza Strip - and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is scrambling to work out how best to respond to the American president. Sir Keir met with EU leaders earlier in the week for post-Brexit reset, but the prospect of closer ties comes just as Donald Trump has the EU in his crosshairs - saying he'll slap tariffs on the bloc, while suggesting he might spare the UK.  So, the prime minister is walking a tightrope that stretches across both the Channel and the Atlantic, will he keep the balancing act going or topple over? In this week's episode of the Fourcast, Gary Gibbon is joined by Michael Gove, cabinet minister under four Conservative Prime Ministers and now editor of the Spectator, journalist and biographer of Keir Starmer, Tom Baldwin. And head of the Europe programme at the Chatham House think tank, Armida van Rij . Produced by Silvia Maresca, Calum Fraser, Ka Yee Mak, Rob Thomson.

Nick Cohen chats with Tom Baldwin, journalist, author, biographer of Keir Starmer and former Labour spin doctor about how the new government handles future challenges from Donald Trump to clearing up the omni-shambles left by 14 years of Tory incompetence.HANDLING THE ORANGE MENACETom @TomBaldwin66 says Starmer will probably adopt a strategy of subtlety with Trump, saying, "The way to deal with Trump is not to match him for making noise or be your own kind of populist.The answer is not to be like Trump; it's to be the opposite of Trump. It's not to turn the other cheek, but just to learn to ignore some things. Separate the froth of social media from the actual substance of his decisions ... He's going to try and get the best out of Trump. deals he can. He's going to try and find places of ambiguity and endurance, and do his best to exploit those, rather than reinforce dividing lines with him. And you know, that's what good prime ministers and good diplomats do."TRUMP & THE FOLLY OF BREXITNick points out that the #Trump victory has only further exposed the folly and recklessness of #brexit, particularly as it seems certain that Trump will launch a series of trade wars that will leave the UK dangerously exposed to a ruinous US tariff regime.Trump is so economically illiterate that he appears not to understand that tariffs are paid by importers, not the exporting nation, and will mean higher prices for U.S. citizens if they want anything from oversees, from a new i-phone to a Japanese car. Tom says the UK maybe shafted trade-wise but still punches above its weight in terms of military power and security, both of which could prove crucial in the dangerous days ahead. Tom says, "we have real presence at the Table and we have Europe has a real interest in working with Britain in a way that it doesn't have to work for Britain in terms of giving us a better deal for our exports security is not about self interest. It's about mutual interest."STARMER & THE POPULIST THREATTom said a key Starmer objective is to see off the populist threat in the UK through good governance and improving public serves. If any criticism can be laid at the door of the new government, it's that it has not done enough to fully expose the disgraceful shit-show Labour inherited from the Tories. "I think the best argument you can make, particularly in government rather than opposition, is to actually show that governments can work," says Tom, "and that government can actually deliver real progress for working peoples, as government would put it."The paperback version of Tom's bestseller, Keir Starmer, the biography, is out now with a new updated chapter on the election campaign and Labour's first few weeks of power..Nick Cohen's @NichCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.

The red half of Westminster will shortly decamp to Liverpool for the first Labour conference since the party's general election landslide. Host Sascha O'Sullivan looks at a group which played a key role in that victory — the left-wing think-tank Labour Together. Sascha pieces together the fascinating origin story of Labour Together, speaking to ITV Deputy Political Editor Anushka Asthana, author of a new book, which details the group's influence, and Keir Starmer biographer Tom Baldwin. Andrew Cooper, political pollster and member of Labour Together advisory board, tells Sascha how Josh Simons, former director of the think tank, built on the work of Morgan McSweeney by using deep voter analysis to help Labour HQ. Sascha speaks to the group's new chief executive, Jonathan Ashworth, about Labour Together's role in shaping the thinking of the new government. He addresses some of the cronyism accusations surrounding the think tank and is quizzed by Sascha on its purpose now Labour is in power. Henry Newman, former political adviser and author of the Whitehall project, explains the concerns about how Labour Together acted as a middleman for political donations between wealthy individuals and politicians. Labour "mega-donor" Dale Vince tells Sascha why he gave money to the think tank. And think tank stalwarts Harry Quilter-Pinner of the Institute of Public Policy Research, Ryan Wain of the Tony Blair Institute and Charlotte Pickles explain how Labour Together fits into the world of the wonks and how different it is from most policy outfits.

Il dirige le Labour depuis 2020 et a choisi de recentrer le programme et le discours du parti travailliste britannique. Stratégie payante pour Keir Starmer qui devrait, sauf coup de théâtre, remporter les élections anticipées organisée au Royaume-Uni le 4 juillet prochain.    Tous les instituts de sondages lui accordent une très large avance face aux conservateurs de Rishi Sunak, pour lesquels ces élections anticipées s'annoncent désastreuses. Une avance que Keir Starmer essaie à tout prix de conserver en restant d'une très grande prudence durant les derniers jours de campagne. C'est la stratégie que la presse britannique décrit comme celle du « vase Ming » : porter un vase précieux sur un parquet ciré en essayant d'éviter tout faux... Avec ses cheveux poivre et sel, sa coiffure sage et son air quelque peu coincé, Keir Starmer est l'homme idéal pour jouer ce rôle de candidat sérieux bien qu'un peu falot. Peu charismatique, travailleur, et pas vraiment du genre à plaisanter, il est l'antithèse de Boris Johnson, l'ancien Premier ministre conservateur. Cet ancien avocat de 61 ans, fan de football et père de deux enfants, est issu d'un milieu modeste, ce qui a forgé en partie son caractère et ses convictions. « Son père était un ouvrier qualifié, un homme très compétent, mais dans son village du Surrey, une région plutôt chic, je pense que les gens méprisaient son père », raconte le journaliste britannique Tom Baldwin, auteur de Keir Starmer : the biography (non traduit). « Il travaillait dans une usine, et cette sorte de snobisme est quelque chose dont Keir Starmer a souffert, et qu'il porte encore aujourd'hui. Il est donc le premier dirigeant travailliste depuis très longtemps à parler de classe sociale et de mépris social. Il en fait une question de respect pour les travailleurs ordinaires et cela constitue une grande partie de son langage aujourd'hui. »Après des études brillantes, Keir Starmer choisit de devenir avocat et se spécialise dans la défense des droits de l'homme, avant de devenir procureur général d'Angleterre et du Pays de Galles à la fin des années. En 2015 il se lance en politique et devient député pour le parti travailliste. Quatre ans plus tard le Labour de Jeremy Corbin est sèchement battu dans les urnes : Keir Starmer prend la tête du parti et replace au centre de l'échiquier une formation qui semblait alors incapable de revenir aux affaires. « Il a d'abord écarté un certain nombre de proches de Jeremy Corbyn qui étaient encore dans les instances du parti », rappelle Pauline Schnapper professeur à la Sorbonne Nouvelle et spécialiste du Royaume-Uni. « Il a donc exclu Corbyn lui-même, et il a recentré les éléments de politique qui étaient les plus impopulaires chez lui, et notamment tous les sujets de politique étrangère sur lesquels Corbyn était clairement en dehors du consensus britannique général, que ce soit sur la Russie, sur les Etats-Unis, sur l'Ukraine. »« Purge » chez les travaillistes« Une purge » au sein du Parti Travailliste, qui permet également à Keir Starmer de lutter contre les accusations d'antisémitisme formulées à l'époque contre le Labour. Le nouveau dirigeant travailliste complète ce recentrage par un volet économique, en renonçant notamment au programme de nationalisations défendu par Jeremy Corbyn. À l'image du New Labour de Tony Blair dans les années 1990, le parti travailliste façonné par Keir Starmer se veut « business friendly » et donc proche des entrepreneurs.  « C'est un programme prudent pour deux principales raisons, décrypte Pauline Schnapper. « Il y a une raison électorale qui consiste à ne pas faire peur aux électeurs et notamment à ceux qui avaient voté conservateur. Et comme c'est une tactique qui pour l'instant semble très bien marché il n'y a pas de raison de la modifier. Il y a aussi que la situation économique actuelle est tellement mauvaise que les travaillistes font attention de ne pas faire miroiter des dépenses inconsidérées. Les caisses sont vides et c'est la raison pour laquelle Keir Starmer insiste sur la nécessité de faire tout ce qu'il faut pour que la croissance reparte et que du coup, les rentrées fiscales soient plus importantes. »À l'approche des élections, Keir Starmer profite d'un contexte politique très favorable avec l'effondrement du parti conservateur. Mais, aux yeux du journaliste Tom Baldwin il a eu aussi le mérite de définir une stratégie et de s'y tenir. « Ce n'est pas une mince affaire de garder le cap sans se prendre les pieds dans le tapis, et c'est difficile d'être perçu comme quelqu'un de solide ! Ce n'est peut-être pas spectaculaire, mais c'est une vertu sous-estimée en politique. »  Keir Starmer l'a répété durant la campagne : il est candidat pour être Premier ministre et pas directeur de cirque. Message adressé à son aile gauche mais aussi aux électeurs du parti Tory… Sauf coup de théâtre cette stratégie rassurante et prudente devrait conduire l'ancien avocat au 10 Downing Street et à la tête du premier gouvernement travailliste depuis 14 ans.

The final week of election campaigning is here! Keir Starmer hasn't even measured up for curtains in Downing Street yet, but the attention is already turning to the headaches he will face in government. After a wobbly final debate performance against Rishi Sunak, Ed Balls wonders if the Labour leader can ever go for the jugular when it counts.Then there's the markets. Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves might have high hopes for their policies, but where will the money come from? George Osborne thinks Labour's honeymoon might be over before it's begun.And while it looks like Starmer has got Labour's act together, there's trouble brewing on the left of the party. Sir Keir's biographer, Tom Baldwin, reveals the real reason that Starmer served in Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet.

Recorded in the lead up the UK election of 2024, this is a conversation with Labour Party Leader Keir Starmer's biographer, journalist and former Labour insider Tom Baldwin. He explains how the biography was written with Starmer's co-operation but was not authorised by him and how Starmer learns things from the book that he did not expect, but feels uncomfortable with some of the details about his complex family relationships.   What emerges is a portrait of a relentless, hardworking details man, who consults, listens and is outcome focussed. A man who is not political in the traditional sense, but who has leadership skills and who values of integrity and decency but is not always good at playing the media game. He'd much rather play football with his old mates.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Keir Starmer has been the leader of the UK Labour Party since 2020. This makes him Leader of the Opposition, and - if the polls are to be believed - Britain's next prime minister. Amid a revolving door of prime ministers, Brexit, and the pandemic, Starmer's rise from leader of the weakest Labour Party since the Second World War to being in poll position in the race for Downing Street has taken many by surprise. It's also left a public clamouring for more information about who this man is, what makes him tick, and what he believes in.This podcast tries to assess the validity of the conventional wisdoms that have grown up around Starmer. Starmer will face many challenges if he ever becomes prime minister, so it's important to think about who he is, before the demands of Downing Street swamp him. My guest today is Tom Baldwin. Tom is a British journalist who has worked for the Times and the Sunday Telegraph as political editor; he was also a senior political adviser to Ed Miliband when Miliband was Labour leader. Tom has also written Keir Starmer: The Biography, an unauthorised but authoritative account of the man himself. More recently than that he has also co-authored England: Seven Myths That Changed a Country and How to Set Them Straight.

British journalist and former Labour party senior advisor Tom Baldwin is the author of a new biography Sir Kier Starmer: The Unexpected Rise.  

Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu has passed a law that will ban foreign media from operating within the country. Al Jazeera is one of the main outlets on the ground providing reportage, and the most watched network in the region—so what impact will the closure of their operations in Israel have on the ability to get news out of the war zone? Alan Rusbridger and Lionel Barber are joined by journalist and humanitarian Khaled Mansour to discuss where genuine news reporting from the conflict will come from with the ban in place. Also this week: in the past, UK political parties have relied on backing from Murdoch-run news media to ensure victory in general elections. Journalist and author Tom Baldwin discusses with Alan and Lionel whether that will be the case in the next election too. With the media landscape vastly different to previous elections, do the Times and the Sun still hold the power to sway the population? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We are obsessed by the character of leaders, even if context, ideas and external circumstances can determine the fate of a government as much as character. Keir Starmer has been unusually hard to pin down, which is why I was keen to speak to Tom Baldwin. Although he has done many interviews to promote his new book on the Labour leader, I sensed there was more to explore – and we do. Plus, reflections on the challenge for Labour after the budget and major assembly notices for the co-operative.

Nick Cohen gets The Lowdown on Sir Keir Starmer with the Labour Leader's biographer Tom Baldwin.Nick asks:  WTF is Keir Starmer really?Tom  - @TomBaldwin66 - spent hours with Starmer, his friends and family to investigate the supposed enigma that is the Labour Leader for his book which is just out - Keir Starmer: The Biography, published by William Collins.Tom,  a journalist and former Labour spin doctor,  discovered a far more interesting and enigmatic character than the "boring" stiff caricature the Tories and their Fleet Street henchmen are desperate to paint. Starmer is probably the most working class Labour leader since Harold Wilson and yet the only one to take up the Labour mantel with a knighthood, gifted to him for his stint as Director of Public Prosecutions. Tom finds a man forged by family history and values, decent and kind but utterly ruthless when needs be, and determined to sweep the failed, toxic Tories from office.Support the showListen to The Lowdown from Nick Cohen for in-depth analysis of the issues and events that shape our lives and futures.

In conversation with the Two Matts, the man who knows Keir Starmer better than most - his biographer Tom Baldwin sheds light on a complex politician and what we might expect from him as PM - including the truth about his attitude to Europe and Brexit. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tom Baldwin joins the Inside Briefing team on the day his long-awaited biography of Keir Starmer is published. So what does the book reveal about the man who wants to be the next prime minister? How did Starmer's upbringing – and his complicated relationship with his father – shape the politician he became? Do the book's revelations give us a sense of what will define the general election showdown between Starmer and Rishi Sunak? And can political biographies affect how people think about politicians – and will this one answer the questions ask about the Labour leader? Plus: Lee Anderson is making headlines and political parties are accusing each other of Islamophobia and antisemitism. So why is the use of divisive political language getting worse – and what can be done it about it? And: Does it matter if Jeremy Hunt uses the Budget to say he has met his fiscal rules? A new IfG report accuses politicians of gaming the rules with “worse than fiction” spending plans. Its author joins the podcast to explain the problem – and set out a solution.

George Galloway has won a seat in parliament in the Rochdale by-election, with a campaign calling for an end to the conflict in Gaza. Bloomberg's associate editor Ailbhe Rea explains if this result is headache for Keir Starmer or the sign of more woes to come for his Labour Party. Galloway's pitch to disaffected muslim voters was only possible due to Starmer's complete overhaul of the party in his relatively short time as leader. But how much do we know about what actually drives the man? The author of Keir Starmer's new biography Tom Baldwin joins us for an extended discussion of Keir's background and what he might do with real power.

The conversation takes an emotional turn when Liz and Tom discuss Starmer's difficult relationship with his dad; how he couldn't hug him on his deathbed, and then later found a hidden scrapbook that showed how proud of his son he really was. They also talk about what makes Starmer tick politically - is there such a thing as Starmerism? - as well as his love of football and music…and Tom reveals what Starmer thinks of the book!Nish joins Liz from Crooked HQ in LA to discuss the fallout from Lee Anderson's expulsion from the party, and whether the Tories have an islamophobia problem.

In the Times today is the latest instalment of Tom Baldwin's authorised biography of Keir Starmer. It includes reports that Labour chief of staff Sue Gray has been drawing up plans for so-called citizens' assemblies. Are citizens' juries the future of democracy? Or is this simply a way for Starmer to avoid making policy decisions?  Elsewhere there is some interesting polling out from the think tank Labour Together, warning that Labour should not get complacent despite their huge poll lead and recent by-election success. This is due to the large 'don't know' vote share and the possibility that the Reform vote could be squeezed at a general election. What would happen if the Reform vote collapses?

Our guest this week, is current squad member and prop superstar Sam Mahoney.   Sam has played prop since his early days at Colchester RFC when he joined them at U11.  We get to learn about his journey in rugby and why he took a gap year to wait for the love of his life to join him at University and when he made the transition from Colts rugby to Senior rugby for Clacton.  At University he bonded with a fellow student and became best mates with Tom Baldwin, which you hear quite a bit about their rugby journey, through Uni to London 1 North and then to London Welsh together. Who was the London Welsh member who encouraged Sam to join the club?  Sam loved his first 3 seasons at the club and became a popular player with our supporters as he was the basis for our strong scrum and he also got over the whitewash a fair few times.  A few concussions prevented him getting a run of games in our second season and work and injury hampered his availability in the third season, but he has still made 39 appearances for us since project reset.  We hear he is desperate to come back and play once he can come back and train more often.  A top guy. Enjoy.

Our guest this week, is current Bath RFC and England International Josh McNally.  Josh was recently capped by England during their Summer matches with USA & Canada after displaying some great form during the last Premiership season.  He grew up in Hereford and always wanted to serve in the forces and didn't really think about having a career in rugby.  His journey started with the Colts at Luctonians and then he moved to the Royal Air Force, where his rugby developed over a couple of years and he went on to represent them, as well as playing for Henley Hawks.  It was at Henley where he was spotted by London Welsh and was signed by the club as they were then promoted to the Premiership under Justin Burnell's stewardship.  Josh had three seasons with the club, before he moved to London Irish and then on to Bath RFC.  This is a fascinating insight into someone who found a career in rugby a bit later than most and has blossomed into an England International.  We also include some post match interviews in this episode with from the Battersea Ironsides match on 4th September with Tom Baldwin, Liam Chennells and Ben West.

Political insider Tom Baldwin shares worrying insights from behind the curtain of power, and warns that we are in danger of pressing ‘delete’ on liberal democracy altogether. Having interviewed everyone from Tony Blair to Michael Gove, top journalists to Russian bloggers, and tech giant execs to online activists, Tom describes a vicious battle for control of the news agenda, at the expense of public trust and the value of truth. He visits the RSA to show how technological change has hollowed out space for virulent new populist alternatives, including the so-called ‘alt-right’ and ‘alt-left’. And he warns that not only extremists, but also the progressive centre, may now decide to press ‘delete’ on liberal democracy altogether. This event was recorded live at The RSA on Thursday 12th July 2018.
