Will Andy Burnham make it to Downing Street?

About this episode

The episode discusses the leadership crisis in the Labour Party and the implications of recent election results.

After a crazy week, in this weekend edition the team takes stock of how we got to a full blown leadership crisis in Labour. Will the most dangerous challenger make it in Makerfield's by-election? Do the explosive set of results from May 7 contain a wider warning than Reform's march across the North West? And perhaps Brenda from Bristol should brace for yet another one. Plus: politics and vitriol. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
