The News Agents · Election Special: Is it change or die for Labour? · 8 May 2026 podcast

And I think that if they're able to... What, being useless shysters or what?

Yeah, but know that they've got a story to tell and they've got a direction of travel and they've got a policy agenda that is going to make them better off.

I think it's virtually impossible right now.

Let me give you one example of where Labour are probably getting into the right place, which is Europe, and fostering a closer relationship with the European Union.

Is that being sold as because it is a good thing to do and it's for our wealth?

Or is it because we've got no option left?

And it feels like the Labour government is doing this saying, yeah, I know we've tried.

We've tried everything and it's been crap.

So I think we just have to do this now.

That's not a very compelling argument to make to the British people if you want to win them over.

I think there is an element of it which is absolutely personality.

I think it's more than an element.

So I spoke to someone a couple of days ago, very close to Andy Burnham, who said to me, look, this is all moving and it will move.

And what's going to happen is that a Labour MP will stand down, force a by-election.

Keir Starmer will say, no, you can't stand because you're the mayor of Manchester.

And he said, fine, I'll resign as mayor of Manchester.

And the NEC has already said they won't get in his way.

And press the nuclear button and Burnham will get back to Parliament.

Now...

What is a safe Labour seat right now, given the results in the North West, which is where he would stand?
