The Daily Aus · How UK PM Keir Starmer lost his job · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

Or they had to say like, no, I'm absolutely not stepping down.

Don't even ask me that again.

Eventually, Labor MP Josh Simons gave up his seat, called a by-election explicitly for the purpose of electing Andy Burnham.

MP for an area that Burnham could have then I guess applied for like how does it work how does he just yeah as in so producer Rosa you're asking us like does the UK system of parliament work similarly to Australia yeah and the answer is yes so Makerfield is in the greater Manchester area so it was within his area that he could have successfully run for although I'll give you sneaky

I'll give you a fun fact that's Canada related.

So UK, Australia, Canada, we're all pretty similar.

So back in the Canadian election last year, the leader of the opposition, Pierre Poiliev, lost his seat.

But the opposition still wanted him to be their opposition leader.

So a guy in a completely different part of the country took one for the team and gave up his seat so that Pierre could run.

So Pierre, like I think was originally representing somewhere in the country's capital and is now representing like a random town in the middle of Alberta, like hundreds, thousands of kilometres away.

It would have seemed like opportunism, which to be clear, it is.

Yeah, exactly.

And I should just clarify as well, the reason, the thing that actually precipitated this big change from just talking about it to actually doing something was Let Us See.

I've got to stop saying that word.

I'm so stressed about mispronouncing it.

I think you're killing it, to be honest.

Yeah, so it basically was seen as like a referendum on the Labor government.

So Labor lost 1,200 seats around the country at various local councils.
