YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe power balance within the Labour Party is shifting as allies of Angela Rayner signal she is ready to mount a leadership challenge. We examine the growing confidence in the Deputy Prime Minister’s camp and why her recent interventions suggest she is preparing to go over the top if the May election results falter. From high-value speaking engagements to a defiant stance on internal policy, the move to succeed Keir Starmer is no longer being discussed in whispers.
