In this special edition of Coffee House Shorts, Noa Hoffman is joined by Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Home Office minister Mike Tapp. On a day of high drama in Westminster, with Wes Streeting widely expected to challenge Keir Starmer for the leadership tomorrow, Mike sets out exactly why he’s sticking with the Prime Minister for the sake of stability. However, he does make the concession that waiting in the wings is a particularly impressive former military man, Al Carns, who – in the absence of Keir Starmer – might well be what the country is looking for.
