Today on The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau break the orthodoxy that replacing a failing leader mid-term is effective, asking if the rumoured “palace coup” against Keir Starmer is the most suicidal political move Labour could make. Is the UK’s tradition of backstabbing Prime Ministers (from Thatcher to Truss) an empirical failure, and will the political instability only pave the way for Nigel Farage as the unchallenged winner?
The Econoclasts is the podcast from UnHerd in which Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau each week pick pillars of the economic orthodoxy – so-called ‘settled facts’ – and shatter them. Why? Because, while they don’t always agree politically, they’re united in one conviction: the consensus is rotten and the establishment’s model is failing.
