Summary
Insiders have told Laura that the Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has joined a list of people who’ve told Keir Starmer to set out a timetable for his departure. He's at Chequers - the PM’s retreat - considering his next move as talk of fighting a leadership challenge quietens. Laura and Paddy unpack the shift in mood, and question whether Andy Burnham can appeal to voters outside the North West. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.
