Adam Boulton on why politicians need to be braver. Yes, Keir… that’s you.

Broadcasting legend Adam Boulton has, over forty years as a journalist, seen the media’s relationship with politics disintegrate. In the episode, he tells the Matts where things started to go wrong, what puzzles him about Starmer’s apparent fear of upsettting the right, and why an entire generation no longer understands the difference between news and opinion. It’s an engrossing, illuminating listen from one of the most thoughtful and experienced broadcasters this country has ever produced. Enjoy!
