Keir Starmer's defences: Has the dam broken?

Sunday, 10 May 2026 13:42

?Listen to Politics at Sam and Anne's on your podcast app?

Is anyone really prepared to put their head above the parapet to challenge Keir Starmer?

After a disastrous set of election results, Labour backbencher Catherine West has launched a stalking-horse threat to force the prime minister out.

But with rival camps in disarray and would-be successors staying silent, will the cabinet unite around a successor or fracture even further?

In this special debrief edition of Politics at Sam and Anne's, the duo reveal who's talking to who and whether Labour can stop the chaos before it spirals out of control.

And with the SNP and Plaid Cymru looking likely to lead the devolved administrations, will the state of the union be put into further question?
