Editors assemble: can Starmer survive?

There is only really one story in town this week, and despite the relative calm that has descended over Westminster since Monday’s explosive call for Keir Starmer to resign from key ally Anas Sarwar, that is merely a facade.Like the duck swimming serenely atop the pond, underneath the surface the legs are kicking furiously, as Number 10 fights an increasingly difficult rearguard action against those wishing to topple the Prime Minister, as leadership rivals position themselves for a contest that seems more inevitable than ever.But when will it happen, how did we get to this point, what could Starmer do to get through to the May elections and beyond, and if not - who is likeliest to take over? These are all big questions, so host Alain Tolhurst has brought in some reinforcements to help answer them: on the panel is not only PolHome editor, Adam Payne, but two top colleagues from our sister title The House magazine; deputy editor Sienna Rodgers, and making his pod debut, editor Francis Elliott.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot
