Show Notes
Angela Rayner has fired the opening shot in the leadership race to succeed Keir Starmer, warning that Labour is 'running out of time'.
We discuss the art of being on manoeuvres without being caught doing it - from Michael Portillo installing the phone lines, to Rishi Sunak's team secretly registering 'readyforrishi.com'.
And, will any of the potential candidates - including Angela Rayner, Wes Streeting, Andy Burnham or even John Healey - actually be ready to go if the party suffers a heavy defeat in the local elections in May?
We also give (unsolicited) reading suggestions for Keir Starmer:
Sally: The Choice Before the Labour Party, RH Tawney
Polly: The Man Who Planted Trees, Jean Giono
Danny: Get In: The Inside Story of Labour Under Starmer, Patrick Maguire and Gabriel Pogrund
Hugo: Guards! Guards! Terry Pratchett
