Today in Focus · Wes walks but has Burnham got the momentum? – The Latest · 14 May 2026 podcast

There might be other people who decide to, at that point, try to win the membership.

But of course, it's the same kind of language that

The mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, has been using a lot the idea of kind of bringing the party together, listening to lots of ideas across the party.

And, you know, lots of, I think, of us have picked up the similarities in that cadence between, you know, the way that Burnham has been talking and the language that Streeting uses in his resignation letter.

Yes, of course.

And in the immediate kind of aftermath of this, there's a lot of jubilance from Number 10 and from cabinet ministers who support Keir Starmer.

They think they've seen off this immediate challenge.

They think they've seen off, you know, a cabinet minister who was plotting against the prime minister for a long time.

But, you know, they've also lost one of the government's best communicators, where Streeting was one of those people who was really effective at putting the government's case across when he was on broadcast media and someone who commanded a support of a lot of MPs in the party.

So, you know, it's a short term victory, but he is actually quite a significant loss for the government.

And, you know, you've got 90 MPs on the record saying they think the prime minister should resign.

You've had ministerial resignations.

It might not be the end of resignations, actually.

You know, we wait and see whether there are more.

But, you know, that is not a sustainable position for a prime minister.

You know, it's short, short term position.

Keir Starmer might be able to sort of rescue his position.

But, you know, I think that even amongst his closest cabinet allies, very few of them will say that they are convinced that Keir Starmer would lead them into the next election.

And you've only got to look at the polls to see that.

You've only got to look at the results of last week's local elections to see why they believe that.
