About The Take
Just out of prison in 1984, Freddie Jackson is looking for some action. With his younger cousin, Jimmy, riding his coattails, Freddie puts to use the connections he made behind bars, most notably the one with Ozzy, the still-imprisoned godfather who begins to manipulate the young thug and his less-violent cousin. Soon a potent mix of jealousy and resentment, fueled in part by the instability of his wife, Jackie, and her sister's relationship with Jimmy, forces Freddie to put both the business and his family at risk. The one-hour episodes, four in all, are adapted from the best-selling novel by Martina Cole.

Keir Starmer embraces Brexit slogan with 'take back control' pledge
By Becky MortonPolitical reporter
Sir Keir Starmer has promised a new " take back control" bill to transfer powers from Westminster to communities.
In his first speech of 2023, the Labour Leader - a former Remain supporter - Said he wanted to turn the Brexit campaign slogan " into a solution".
He pledged to devolve new powers over employment support, transport, energy, housing, culture and childcare.
Sir Keir Said the legislation would be " a centrepiece" of Labour's plans if it wins The Next general election.
With the country facing severe pressure on the NHS, a wave of strike action and a cost-of-living crisis, Sir Keir Said he was " under no illusions about the scale of The Challenges we face".
In his speech in East London , he promised a " decade of national renewal" under Labour and " hope" for The Future .
But the Labour Leader warned his party " won't be able to spend our way" out of the " mess" He Said would be left by the Conservatives.
Setting out his priorities for a future Labour government, Sir Keir Said he wanted to give communities " the chance to control their economic destiny".
" The decisions which create wealth in our communities should be taken by local people with skin in The Game , and a huge power shift out of Westminster can transform our economy, our politics and our democracy, " He Said .
During the Brexit campaign of 2016, Sir Keir Said he " couldn't disagree with the basic case so many Leave voters made to me".
" It's not unreasonable for us to recognise The Desire for communities to stand on their own feet. It's what 'take back control' meant, " He Said .
" So we will embrace the 'take back control' message but we'll turn it from a slogan to a solution. From a catchphrase into change. "
Keir Starmer - A Man who voted Remain and campaigned for a second referendum - is cloaking himself in the language of Brexit.
His promise of what he calls a '" take back control bill" a planned New Law pushing powers away from Westminster, is nothing if not unsubtle.
Taking the highly effective slogan of the victorious Brexit campaign and claiming it as his own.
Labour needs to win back dozens and dozens of seats that voted Leave and Sir Keir might as well be screaming " I get it" from every rooftop he can clamber on.
It does mean critics will ask what he really believes: it might be savvy politics to court Brexit voters, but who is The Real Keir Starmer ?
Sir Keir was Labour's shadow Brexit secretary under Jeremy Corbyn between 2016 and 2020, when he unsuccessfully campaigned for a second referendum.
Asked by reporters whether he now regretted supporting a fresh vote, Sir Keir Said : " Even in those turbulent years, 2016 to 2019, I was always making The Argument that there was always something very important sitting behind that leave vote.
" That phrase 'take back control' was really powerful, it was like a Heineken phrasing, got into people.
" And the more they ask themselves, do I have enough control, the more they answer that question, no. "
Labour Said The Bill would give English towns and cities the tools to develop long-term plans for Economic Growth , creating high-skilled jobs in their areas.
The Party Said there would be " a presumption towards moving power out of Westminster" with local leaders able to bid for any powers which had already been devolved elsewhere.
