Westminster was thrown into chaos last night after Downing Street rushed to defend Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership amidst whispers of 'coup' to oust the leader.
Starmer’s allies are pointing the finger at two of his top ministers, Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, accusing them of “leadership manoeuvres”. But Streeting flat out denied he had any such plans during his media rounds, saying he was ‘a Faithful’ in reference to the BBC series The Traitors.
Camilla and Tim are joined by our Political Editor Ben Riley-Smith to ‘uncloak’ the rumours, the rivalries and the truth behind Labour’s latest psychodrama.
