The State of It

Wes Streeting bottles it and Labour's left grabs the steering wheel


Listen Later

Listen to what Labour ministers and MPs are saying about their colleagues in a week of chaos in Westminster.

The prime minister thought it was all over for him this weekend, but a scrambled rearguard action has left him looking stronger than he has for some time. But to survive, Keir Starmer may now have no choice but to move leftwards. And there's much worse to come when the Mandelson files are released.

Meanwhile, has Wes Streeting missed his moment to challenge the prime minister?
