Can Burnham delay Starmer's exit?

Monday, 11 May 2026 07:48

?Listen to Politics At Sam And Anne's on your podcast app?

A speech which could define the Keir Starmer premiership - but can he reset or will it be another underwhelming relaunch?

With Labour MPs on edge, leadership contenders circling and worries over what stalking horse Catherine West will do next, Sam and Anne look at how quickly it all could spiral out of control if the prime minister fails to land his message.

But could a quick contest potentially backfire on some of the rivals hoping to storm Number 10? The duo discuss why a delay in any leadership election might end up suiting the likes of Andy Burnham.

Plus, away from the Starmer drama, is Nigel Farage about to face an investigation from the parliamentary watchdog over Christopher Harbone's £5m donation?
