Latika Takes interviews Labour Together's Jon Ashworth

A discussion about the rise of Keir Starmer on the world stage, Britain's defence spending, the Gaza vote, why the Democrats lost and taking on the populist right.

This week Latika Takes: The Podcast catches up with Jon Ashworth the head of the Labour Together think tank.

Labour Together’s Jon Ashworth at Labour Together’s HQ.

Ashworth, is one of British Labor’s most experienced operators having worked for Gordon Brown and was poised to sit in Cabinet.

But in a shock result, he lost his super-safe seat to a Gaza independent at the last election.

Latika and Jon discussed UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s sudden rise on the world stage, the need to fund faster defence spending increases, the effect of Donald Trump on Reform and the Gaza vote.
