YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A dramatic intervention on the Government’s controversial immigration reforms has thrust Angela Rayner back into the spotlight, and repositioned her as a prime candidate to succeed Keir Starmer.

Ed Balls and George Osborne discuss the pros and cons of a Rayner's candidacy, and whether they will aid or prevent her from entering Downing Street. They also discuss the legacy of prime ministers ascending to No. 10 mid-term and what this could spell for any future Labour leader, were Starmer to be deposed.
