Coffee House Shots: why Gordon Brown has never been so relevant
Category: News & Politics
Duration: 00:16:33
Publish Date: 2026-02-14 04:00:00
Description:

James Macintyre joins James Heale to discuss his new biography of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown: Power With Purpose. While the book has been years in the making, little did James know that it would end up published at the same time that its themes and subjects could never be more relevant.


James tells our deputy political editor about the relationship between Brown and Blair, what the Labour leader makes of Keir Starmer’s problems today and his reflections – with hindsight – about bringing the now-disgraced Peter Mandelson back into government in 2008. 


Produced by Patrick Gibbons.
