Newscast – Has Keir Starmer Saved His Job (For Now)?
Available for more than a year
Keir Starmer today said he would “never leave the country I love” after surviving a turbulent 24 hours in which Scottish Labor leader Anas Sarwar called for him to resign. Speaking to the BBC, Energy Minister Ed Miliband said Labor was “looking over the cliff” and decided to back their leader, garnering support from the cabinet and other senior figures in the party. So the Prime Minister is safe for now, but is he really safe? After another turbulent 24 hours in Westminster, Alex and James meet Caitríona Perry, Daniela Relph’s senior royal correspondent and BBC News’ chief presenter in Washington, to discuss the wider implications of the Epstein files in the US and within the royal family.
