Former Labour Minister Bill Rammell and Press Association News Editor Theo Usherwood discuss whether this move 'bypasses democracy'or provides Labour with its only fighting chance against a surging Reform UK. Stephen Dixon and Bill Rammell go head-to-head over whether a Prime Minister who wasn’t even an MP at the general election has a true democratic mandate, or if Labour is simply facing an existential fight for survival. 0:00 - The Makerfield by-election and Andy Burnham’s return. 0:34 - The Starmer Deal: Is the Prime Minister ready to stand down? 1:04 - A Party in Shambles: Former Labour Minister Bill Rammell weighs in. 1:55 - Leadership Challengers: Wes Streeting and the potential for a head-to-head contest. 2:59 - The Democratic Question: Does a non-MP Prime Minister have a democratic mandate? 4:34 - Manifesto Meltdown: Could a new leader rip up the 2024 pledges? 5:58 - (AD) ExpressVPN. 6:54 - The high-risk gamble of a Reform UK-facing seat. 7:42 - The MP Sacrificed: Josh Simons stepping down to clear the path. 8:48 - The Alternative Nightmare: Ed Miliband as a compromise leader? 9:54 - Did the Conservatives pave the way for mid-term swaps? 11:15 - Parliamentary Blockades: How the House of Lords could stall non-manifesto laws. 12:12 - Communication Failures #keirstarmer #andyburnham #labour #ukpolitics #ukpolitics #makerfield #reformuk #gbnews Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWS Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com/friend
