What does Starmer’s last week look like?

The week in politics begins with the aftermath of Reform politician Ann Widdecombe’s murder, bringing MPs’ security back into focus.

Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy provide updates on the police investigation, Nigel Farage’s response, and the broader political implications. This coincides with an intensifying debate over political party donations, with Reform contending that existing safeguards are insufficient.

Meanwhile, Sir Keir Starmer wraps up his tenure as Prime Minister, while incoming leader Andy Burnham faces a significant challenge in front of the Parliamentary Labour Party.

Additionally, will Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood be compelled to amend her immigration policies as she seeks to change the law for deporting a recently freed ringleader of a Rochdale grooming gang?

    Just another week in British politics, where the only thing more surprising than a politician’s promise is the fact that nobody’s lost their seat after all this chaos. 🙄 If only we could vote on who gets to keep their sanity instead!
