  1. Burnham set for by-election bid, but can he win Makerfield?

    20 HR AGO

    Burnham set for by-election bid, but can he win Makerfield?

    Andy Burnham has announced his intention to stand in a by-election in Makerfield after Josh Simons, the Labour MP and former Cabinet Office minister, stood down to clear his path back to Westminster. The Mayor of Greater Manchester is by far the most popular Labour politician and would be confident of success in a leadership contest against Sir Keir Starmer. But first he has to be allowed to fight the seat – which is in his own backyard – by the party’s National Executive Committee, and then beat Reform, which won the Makerfield wards in last week’s local elections. Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley assess the chances of Burnham securing the nomination for and then winning Makerfield, as well as the role that Ed Miliband has played and where it leaves Wes Streeting after his resignation as health secretary on Thursday.

    Starmer snub ignites Streeting ‘coup’ plot on King’s Speech day

    Wes Streeting is expected to resign and launch a leadership challenge as early as tomorrow, plunging Westminster into crisis just as Parliament reopens. The King announced the Government’s legislative agenda this afternoon but the big story was machinations at No 10, where the Health Secretary and Keir Starmer held a meeting that lasted just 16 minutes. Camilla and Tim battle the elements outside Parliament to bring you the latest developments from a tense day in Westminster. They are joined by Labour MP Luke Akehurst, who pleads directly with his friend Wes Streeting to not resign – and suggests he doesn’t have enough MPs behind him anyway. We want to hear from you!

    Cabinet revolt erupts as Starmer refuses to budge

    The resignations have begun, putting Keir Starmer’s premiership teetering on the brink.

    ‘Less authentic than AI’: Starmer's ‘reset’ speech rejected as rivals close in

    Labour's local election bloodbath: Will Starmer resign?

    After what's shaping up to be a Labour bloodbath, Camilla and Tim reflect on a nightmare set of local election results for Keir Starmer. With the Prime Minister taking the blame but refusing to step aside, they assess whether his Cabinet colleagues may well take the decision out of his hands. As bad a night as it’s been for Labour, it’s been a great one for Reform. Camilla and Tim are joined by a jubilant Nigel Farage, who says his party’s remarkable taking back of the “red wall” is down to Starmer’s “weak and ruderless” leadership, and that Reform’s gains are down to the Labour Party of “London human rights lawyers” not connecting with ordinary people.  We want to hear from you!

    ‘Hypocrite!’: New Polanski scandal erupts during local elections

    As the country goes to the polls in crucial local and devolved elections, The Daily T asks: Is Zack Polanski a foolish ideologue, a dangerous charlatan, or both? Polanski recently shared a social media post criticising the police’s conduct when arresting a man suspected of stabbing two Jewish men in Golders Green. As his personal poll rating tanks, Camilla and Tim explain why Polanski’s position on anti-Semitism and the growing Islamist support for his party make him a danger to Britain. Later, Sir John Curtice, Britain’s favourite pollster, tells The Daily T that Labour is facing its worst-ever result in London and the election of more pro-Gaza independents is “almost inevitable”.

    On Wednesday’s Daily T podcast, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are in Kent to speak to Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, on the final day of campaigning before the local elections.
