YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“The last 72 hours have been the Labour Party at its self-serving worst, completely fixated on its internal machinations.”
Labour’s decision to block Andy Burnham from standing in a by-election could inflame internal divisions and leave the party vulnerable to pressure from both Reform UK and the Green Party, say pollster Luke Tryl and former Starmer adviser Luke Sullivan.
Luke Sullivan and Luke Tryl were speaking to Ayesha Hazarika on Times Radio Weekend Drive. Listen live every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 4-6pm.
