Keir Starmer wants to fix Britain. He’s still working out how.
As Britain’s prime minister embarks on another No. 10 revamp, some officials are questioning the structures he created to show “delivery” to the public.

Just coming to the end and have found it fascinating. Is part of the success the fact that Michael Barber wished to be an honest broker but also, by having the strong backing of Tony Blair, he did not feel the need to ‘politic’ - he was secure in his status?
