The former Home Secretary, Lord David Blunkett, has been full of praise for the "great start" made by the new Labour government after Sir Keir Starmer's landslide victory in July.

He praised the Prime Minister's start on international relations with the United States and Europe and how the government responded to rioting in August - but did highlight his concerns about the party's "miserablist" tone.

Lord Blunkett sat down with The Star's Harry Harrison for The Sheffield Scoop podcast, and you can find the full interview wherever you get your podcasts from September 20.
