Episode Details

Anas Sarwar, who once demanded Keir Starmer’s resignation, is now set to join Andy Burnham’s government in the House of Lords — a dramatic reversal just five months after his public challenge. He’s not alone: Miatta Fahnbulleh, who quit Starmer’s cabinet over lost faith, is now energy secretary; Ed Miliband, who hinted Starmer’s time was up, takes foreign secretary. John Healey and Wes Streeting, both former Starmer ministers, now hold chancellor and defence roles respectively. Amid the reshuffle, Steve Reed, a loyal Starmer defender, urged Burnham’s team to show loyalty — underscoring lingering tensions. Though the transition appears smooth, the fallout from Starmer’s tenure continues to ripple through Labour’s ranks.
