Want more Electoral Dysfunction? Tap here to follow: https://podfollow.com/electoraldysfunction Sir Keir Starmer is doubling down on his bid to reduce government waste, but is his plan a fix or just more spending spin? Beth is in Hull after hearing what the Labour leader is promising, including scrapping NHS England to "cut bureaucracy" and bring management of the health service "back into democratic control". Harriet, Beth and Ruth also discuss Starmer potentially facing down a rebellion from his own MPs over plans to shake up benefits reform and welfare payments, after a message from listener Arthur. The cracks are widening for Reform UK’s internal spat. Beth speaks to Andrea Jenkyns, who left the Tories to join Reform, on the party's latest bust-up, and Ruth and Harriet look at whether the party’s chaos is helping both Labour and the Conservatives.   Email us at electoraldysfunction@sky.uk, post on X to @BethRigby, or send a WhatsApp voice note on 07934 200 444.
