What is the significance of John Healey’s resignation?
About this episode
The episode discusses John Healey's resignation and its implications for Keir Starmer's leadership amidst rising defence spending and multi-party political dynamics.
The instinctively loyal John Healey has resigned over the level of defence spending about to be announced - what will be the impact on Keir Starmer’s fragile leadership? And how will resources be found to pay for defence and other creaking public services? Plus, we are in an era of multi-party politics, and the new battles between parties are already having a big impact on elections and by-elections. But how big are the differences between the parties on the right,and indeed those on the left?
