<p>The Matts are joined by New European political editor James Ball to step back and reflect on why Keir Starmer’s government is conspicuously failing to excite and unite a British public desperate for change after so many years of Tory rule. They have their theories. Is there an easy(-ish) answer? And who should they really be worried about if it’s not Reform? In the second half, the Matts take a look at the new documentary into the life of Leni Riefenstahl, filmmaker to the Nazis, and ask what her post-war rehabilitation tells us about the intersection of culture and politics.</p><br><p>EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Get The New European for <a href="https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/2matts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">just £1 for the first month</a>.
