As the by-election looms, so does the future of Downing Street, but if Burnham wins, Keir deserves a “dignified retirement” because “he did an amazing thing in one term” says former Labour advisor, John McTernan.
John McTernan was speaking to Seb Payne on The Times at One. Listen live every Monday to Thursday from 1-2pm.
