Who replaces Starmer?
Ian Collins asks the political question now gripping Westminster: if Keir Starmer went tomorrow, who should replace him? Emma Burnell, editor of Labour List, and Charlie Rowley, political commentator, debate Labour’s leadership future as rumours swirl that Angela Rayner is positioning herself for a possible challenge while pressure mounts on the Prime Minister’s handling of the Mandelson scandal. Is Labour heading for a coronation, a civil war - or a total reset? We then turn to a controversial NHS initiative in Bradford. Iram Ramzan, writer on Middle Eastern and Muslim social issues, joins us to discuss the decision to recruit a nurse specifically to work with cousin-marriage families, and whether the health service is tackling genetic risk honestly - or tiptoeing around a sensitive cultural issue. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
