Today, we look at a gloomy warning from Keir Starmer, and the return of Oasis.
The PM cast a shadow across the Downing Street Rose Garden this morning, warning that the October budget will be painful. Starmer called on the country to accept short term pain for long term good. But are the new government right to be spending so much time levelling blame on the previous administration? Deputy Political Editor Vicki Young joins Adam. Plus, Liam and Noel Gallagher confirm their Oasis reunion saying “this is it, this is happening.” But why now? Adam speaks to Radio 6 DJ Steve Lamacq.
