Episode Description

After a turbulent tenure in Downing Street, Sir Keir Starmer has announced his resignation as Prime Minister and leader of the Labour Party. Live from Downing Street, Camilla and Tim reflect on the factors that led to his exit, from the “bloodbath” in the local elections to the internal party rebellions over policy about turns.


With Andy Burnham positioning himself as a successor, they examine his ambitious policy platform and ask whether Labour can pivot quickly enough to avoid electoral wipe-out, as Reform’s Nigel Farage calls for an emergency general election.
