YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe drama of the Peter Mandelson scandal has boiled over into a series of resignations from No. 10 and public calls from Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar for Keir Starmer to go. The cabinet rallied round and there were reports of cheers from Labour MPs but this is not all what it seems.
Ed Balls and George Osborne explain what happens behind closed doors when the ‘Cabinet rallies’, is this what always happens when leaders are on their way out? Keir Starmer has lost his closest allies, and faces a lonely uphill battle if he wants to remain in Downing Street and lead Labour into the next election.
