Show Notes

Keir Starmer keeps talking about his record as Director of Public Prosecutions, arguing it shows he was tough on crime - but the Conservatives think it proves he's actually 'Sir Softie'. Matt finds out what a DPP does, and looks at Starmer's successes and his failures in the job. 


Plus columnists Libby Purves and Rachel Sylvester on Diane Abbott sparking a new anti-semitism row in the Labour party,  Sir Michael Morpurgo's call to stop "nitpicking" classic books, and Matt and Rachel apologise to our Welsh listeners .
