🚨NEW Bristol Unpacked: can Bristol North West MP Darren Jones turn around Labour’s sinking fortunes?
The government’s approval ratings are tanking after a series of policy flip-flops, scandals and communications failures. Reform is on the rise everywhere, while the Greens and Your Party tempt younger voters.
Into this mess steps Darren Jones MP, the Bristol North West MP who has recently been appointed as Keir Starmer’s chief assistant, responsible for helping execute the PM’s agenda and get his messaging across.
In the first episode of the new Unpacked season, Jones talks to Neil Maggs on going from a childhood in Lawrence Weston to becoming a cabinet minister, the challenges of government and his new efforts to engage under-30s on YouTube.
How’s that going to work? Should Starmer fall, would he fancy the top job? And where did his Bristol accent go? Tune into the new series of Unpacked to find out…
