YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“I think I would probably say to him, ‘you always pick the wrong moment.”

Former Labour MP Andrew Gwynne is to step down from parliament which paves the way for a possible return to Westminster for Andy Burnham, but the announcement comes during a strong streak for Keir Starmer, says Times columnist Alice Thomson.

Alice Thomson and Fraser Nelson were speaking to Hugo Rifkind on Times Radio. Listen live everyday between 10am-1pm.
