as posted by the channel

Keir Starmer faces a defining moment of peril as the Gorton and Denton by-election looms on 26th February. While Downing Street claims a show of strength in blocking Andy Burnham from standing, the move has fermented significant ill will and positioned the Manchester Mayor as a powerful critic in the wings.

We go inside the Prime Minister’s flight to China to examine the end of the "Ice Age" in Anglo-Chinese relations and the extreme security measures taken to avoid industrial espionage. We also reveal startling details about Starmer’s recent phone call with Donald Trump and the parliamentary chicanery currently threatening to kill the Chagos Islands deal.
