YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFrom Anas Sarwar's early call for Starmer’s resignation to the actual event some months later, watch figures from across the political spectrum plot against the Prime Minister.
From Wes Streeting’s behind-the-scenes manoeuvring to union bosses unhappy with policy, Keir Starmer was often on the ropes. Resignations began to pile up, from senior ministers to backbench MPs, and the departure of Josh Simons cleared the way for Andy Burnham's meteoric rise.
Across interviews, Commons statements and breaking news clips, MPs openly question Starmer’s authority, warning he is “living on borrowed time,” and arguing that he can't lead Labour into the next election. Hear from Andy Burnham, Wes Streeting, Rosie Wrighting, Jess Phillips, Peter Kyle, Kemi Badenoch and more.
