Is Labour’s problem Starmer or something much deeper?
from The Fourcast Hosted by Channel 4 News
Keir Starmer has blocked Andy Burnham’s bid to run in the Gorton and Denton by-election, but has he just delayed the leadership challenge many in Westminster believe is inevitable? If there is a challenge, does the Labour Party risk descending into the same internal conflicts that helped bring down the Conservatives? Starmer's latest foreign destination is China for a meeting with President Xi but is travelling the globe as an international statesman staving off restless Labour MPs? Meanwhile, he says his relentless focus is the cost-of-living crisis but are the public, or his MPs buying it? On the latest episode of the Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by our Senior Political Correspondent Paul McNamara, the I-paper's chief political commentator Kitty Donaldson, and Political Editor of the Liverpool Echo, Liam Thorp.
