Angela Rayner: How Much Could Her Resignation Damage Keir Starmer?
Description
Today, we look at the damage done to Keir Starmer and his government after he lost his deputy prime minister.
Angela Rayner resigned after the prime minister's ethics adviser found that she had breached the ministerial code over failing to pay enough tax on her flat in East Sussex.
But does that mean Keir Starmer’s lost one of his most valuable cabinet members?
Paddy and Laura reunite after the summer to discuss.
And they look at the latest ins and outs as part of the reshuffle that has followed.
They also bring you Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire Andrea Jenkyns singing at the Reform conference.
