Episode Details

Labour gears up for a leadership shake-up as Keir Starmer steps down as PM, setting the stage for a new leader to emerge before Parliament returns in September. Nominations open July 9th, with the Commons recess starting July 16th — meaning a potential new PM could be in place by mid-July if there’s no fierce competition. Starmer’s exit wasn’t easy: internal tensions reportedly ran high, with some ministers calling him a “drag on the ticket” and saying “no one supports you anymore.” His reluctance to quit also stemmed from friction with Andy Burnham and encouragement from his wife, Victoria. But now, Starmer’s fully backing his successor, confident they’ll inherit a stronger Britain and position Labour for another term.
