Ian Collins asks the question dominating Westminster tonight: how long can Keir Starmer hang on?
With senior figures including Tim Allan stepping away and the Prime Minister’s chief of staff Morgan McSweeney leaving Downing Street - as Labour MPs openly call for Starmer to resign - Peter Cardwell, former special adviser and author of The Secret Life of Special Advisers, joins Henri Murison, chief executive of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership and former Labour staffer, alongside Giles Dilnot, editor of ConservativeHome, to assess whether Starmer’s leadership is now in terminal decline or if he still has a route back from the brink.
We then turn to immigration, with Sarah Pochin MP, Reform UK’s member for Runcorn & Helsby, responding to new figures showing small boat crossings at record levels under Starmer - and warnings that Britain’s asylum system is becoming a conveyor belt into long-term benefits.
