Intro

As the race to replace Angela Rayner as Labour’s deputy leader exposes tensions within the party, John Harris speaks to the former transport secretary Louise Haigh about what she thinks Keir Starmer should do to get back on track, and whether he will survive until the next election. Plus, Pippa Crerar joins John to discuss the mounting pressure on the prime minister over Peter Mandelson’s links to Jeffrey Epstein, and why Boris Johnson is in hot water after a Guardian investigation raised serious questions about whether he broke ethics and lobbying rules..
