Is there a Starmerism to follow Blairism?

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The Labour leader Keir Starmer has set out the "first steps" he would take if he enters government, but how much it echoes Tony Blair’s pledges in 1997? We speak to the Chair of the Labour Party Anneliese Dodds. Also on the programme: US criticises Chinese President Xi Jinping's pledge to deepen relations with his counterpart Vladimir Putin. And, a missing Algerian man has been found alive in a hole near his home after being held captive by his neighbour for 27 years.
