The Keir Starmer premiership faces its biggest threat yet. Following the public resignation of the Defence Secretary, the Labour government has been plunged into a massive internal crisis. With the Makerfield by-election days away, is Andy Burnham preparing a dramatic leadership challenge to enter Number 10?

In this episode of Political Business, Nathan Parsad-Wyatt and Kevin McKeever break down the behind-the-scenes manoeuvrings of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP). They reveal the exact "magic numbers" needed to trigger a leadership vote, why John Healey’s actions have undermined Rachel Reeves, and how the upcoming Greater Manchester selection could trigger total political chaos this summer.
