UK leadership crisis: ‘Keir Starmer is a lame duck Prime Minister’ says former Labour adviser

It’s been a tumultuous week for Britain’s Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, who is facing a leadership crisis. Following a chaotic week in which nearly 90 Labour MPs called on Starmer to resign, along with a series of ministerial resignations, the Prime Minister is clinging on to power. Former Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said he would stand in any leadership contest, while Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, is plotting a return to Parliament after confirming he will stand in the Makerfield by-election. To discuss the unfolding events, France 24’s Gavin Lee is joined by Karl Hansen, former Labour adviser and political writer for Tribune Magazine.
