we can now speak to labour�s thangam debbonaire, shadow secretary of state for culture, media and sport. thank you for being with us. we have a lot to get through on behalf of our viewers. what is the big idea thatis our viewers. what is the big idea that is going to cut through to voters between now and election day from labour? i think that what people will be asking themselves, and we have certainly been doing this when we�ve been campaigning up and down the country is in 13, 1a years of tory governments, does anyone at all really feel better off? i know the answer we�ve been getting is no. people feel their wages have gone downhill, their rent or mortgage has gone up, their bills have gone up, the potholes are there in the roads, the potholes are there in the roads, the trains that run on time —— don�t run on time, and public services are creaking at the edges. what we are promising as we will take a decade of national renewal to start fixing those problems right at the core. we

power is put back into the hands of voters with the general election coming and we set out very clearly what a labour decade of national renewal would look like in contrast to the 1a years of failure from the conservatives. and what we saw from keir starmer today, setting out this decade of national renewal, some people are saying he is a radical hiding in plain sight. so who is the real keir starmer? a very cautious figure who doesn�t want to frighten the horses, or he is going to transform this country in a radical way? as someone in keir starmer�s shadow cabinet, i can tell you that his missions are ambitious for the country. they are not easy to achieve. he set us very bold targets to turn the country around in the course of the next labour government, if we win, but over a decade of national renewal because we know the problems left from the conservatives are deep and structural. that is very radical. if keir starmer wanted an easier life he wouldn�*t be pledging to deliver such bold promises for the country at the next election. but we all know how to deliver that. we are all fired up and ready to go. we just want the next election to come sooner rather than later

what about the argument that rishi sunak is a bottler? he can go all the way to january next year but all the opinion polls show that people really want to get on with this election. this argument that he is bottling it? you say people want to get on with the election. i think the opposition wants to get on with the election. maybe the media wants to get on with the election. but i think people i speak to in my constituency and further afield actually want some stability. so they want to make sure we are back on to firm ground in terms of the economy. so i don�*t think everyday people are really pushing for an election right now. so there is next year, and obviously an election has to come by january of 2025 but it probably will be the back end of this year, as rishi has said, and i welcome that. but i think we are all in this job to try and get things done and i think rishi sees the opportunity of the next 12 months to get more done and demonstrate he is the right person to lead this country. but has rishi sunak been scrabbling around, criticising 30 years of political failure and then summoning a leader he had implied was a symbol of
