Summary
Less than two years after Labour’s landslide, Keir Starmer is out.

This week on The Black Paper, we go beyond the Westminster headlines to ask what really brought his government down, whether Labour’s shift on immigration achieved anything, and what lies ahead in the UK’s choppy political waters.

And with Andy Burnham now set to take over as Prime Minister, we ask the question that matters most: is he really “for us”?
