Politics Show: Streeting moves on Starmer

Scotcast

Available for over a year

Wes Streeting (pictured) has resigned from the UK Government, saying he has 'lost confidence' in Sir Keir Starmer – but hasn’t triggered a leadership challenge. Natalie and David are joined by the Daily Record’s political editor Paul Hutcheon to discuss what might happen in a potential Labour leadership battle, why a new Green MSP is causing controversy, and whether ‘Swinney-ism’ exists. Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast. This episode of the Politics Show is hosted by David Wallace Lockhart and Natalie Higgins. Get in touch: scotcast@bbc.co.uk
