Calum and Kirsty are joined by Chris Wilkins, who was Theresa May's Director of Strategy and David Muir, who was Gordon Brown's Director of Strategy during the financial crisis 2008-2010. We discuss the issues of the week: will either party commit to maintaining the triple lock on pensions and Sir Keir Starmer's illegal migration proposals. Plus, as Theresa May publishes her book - The Abuse of Power: Confronting Injustice in Public Life - Kirsty and Chris assess her legacy and, more broadly, we all question why Prime Minister's can seemingly never deliver on their vision. Why is their legacy always so radically different? David outlines his experiences of working with Gordon Brown during the financial crisis, which blew Brown's government off its intended course, to respond to a global crisis.
