## Resource

What has Starmer loyalist Pat McFadden really been thinking when he’s been out defending the PM? Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy discuss how the latest Mandelson drop makes for an awkward morning in cabinet. And they’ve lines from Labour’s deputy leader, Lucy Powell, from a podcast recording last night. Was she hinting that a leadership coronation is better than a leadership contest? Plus, our latest voting intention poll shows Labour’s Reform challenge isn’t going away. You can listen to the Matt Forde Political Party podcast here.
