## Resource

Keir Starmer is under pressure after Labour’s bruising losses last week. In an impassioned defence of his leadership, Starmer insisted he is “not going anywhere,” warning Labour MPs that changing leader wouldn’t solve the party’s problems. He also laid out priorities including closer ties with Europe, taking control of British Steel in the national interest, and renewed support for working people and young families. But with questions growing over leadership, is Starmer safe in his role? And can his message still rebuild trust before the next big political test? This episode was recorded on the 11th of May.
