Today, we look at what Labour’s pasting in the May elections means for Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
He’s been out in London talking to Chris and insisting he’s not going anywhere but with more and more of his own party calling on him to resign, can he really stay?
Chris joins Laura and Paddy to talk about their conversation and to give his assessment on the results now they’re in
They also look at Starmer’s appointment of former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown as a special envoy on global finance and ask, will it make a difference to voters?
