Keir Starmer's attempts to placate big tech were a disaster. Andy Burnham must take a stand | Beeban Kidron

Keir Starmer's efforts to appease big tech have been a major failure, highlighting Labour's inability to tackle issues like workers’ rights and online privacy. This comes as a former senior US government official lamented that "democracy was broken" due to governments prioritizing wealthy interests over voters' needs. The tech lobby exemplifies this disconnect, and it's now crucial for Labour figures like Andy Burnham to stand up against these corporations to restore faith in democratic institutions. This situation underscores the urgent need for a more robust regulatory framework to protect public interests against corporate power.
