Today, there has been extensive speculation about the extent to which Sir Keir Starmer was aware of the anonymous briefings attacking potential leadership challengers in his own party. Sir Keir Starmer has insisted he has "never authorised" attacks on his cabinet ministers, calling briefings against them "unacceptable". Adam and Chris are joined by Alex Forsyth to discuss why this could be a sign of deeper problems for the Labour government, rather than just Westminster bubble gossip. Plus Adam and Alex give an update on Donald Trump’s threat of legal action against the BBC, after Ed Davey questioned Keir Starmer on the matter at PMQs.

  • Hello.

  • If you were watching or listening to the news on Wednesday morning,

  • you would have heard the Health Secretary wears Streeting using an excellent cultural reference to prove that he's not trying to remove Kirstarmer as Prime Minister.

  • I'm a faithful.

  • In fact,

  • what you've seen from a silly number 10 source overnight is probably the worst attack on a faithful

  • since Joe Mahler was banished in the Traders final.

  • So I'm treating it with the same level of seriousness that you are this morning.

  • This followed an intense, and I mean intense,

  • bout of speculation at Westminster about Keir Starmer's leadership,

  • and it is actually very significant, even if you might think it doesn't sound that significant.

  • So that's what we're going to talk about on this episode of Newscast.

  • Hello, it's Adam in the newscast studio.

  • And it is Chris at Westminster.

  • And it is Alex and her makeshift home studio.

  • Good, sounding great.

  • It is, yeah.

  • I know, special mic.

  • Oh, and you're a picture of Claudia in the background.

  • It's not Claudia, Adam Fleming, it's not Claudia.
