YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

"His political authority, which was already at a low point, has sunk even lower."

Former Downing Street strategic communications director James Lyons says growing pressure from Labour MPs and party figures has left Keir Starmer facing difficult choices, and the harder he fights to stay on, the more he “might get sucked down”.

James Lyons was speaking to John Pienaar on Times Radio Drive. Listen live every Monday-Friday from 4-7pm.
