After a dramatic day in Westminster, the threat to Starmer appears to have receded – at least in the short term.

Luke Tryl – from pollsters More in Common – and James Heale join Patrick Gibbons to discuss. Produced by Patrick Gibbons. Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
