Summary
Is the Labour leadership contest about to get messy and plunge the party into chaos? Sam and Anne start the day expecting Wes Streeting to resign as Health Secretary to spark a contest, but an early intervention may have swung the momentum. Angela Rayner has come out saying a HMRC investigation into her tax affairs is over, paving a way for a challenge but will she join the contest? Can Andy Burnham find a way to enter the fray? So, as the Prime Minister vows to fight any competitor the leadership discussions are heating up. The duo analyse the developing situation and ask whether it will be straight forward or complex showdown with the PM.
