The controversy centres on a line from a senior Labour source who told Shippers that Andy Burnham could be ‘Labour’s first woman prime minister’. The remark has been doing the rounds in Westminster WhatsApp chats – not least the women’s PLP group, whose members are up in arms. What exactly did the source mean? Also today, Mike Tapp – the outspoken Home Office minister – is at the centre of a row between the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary. Shabana Mahmood wants to sack her number two over an op-ed he wrote in The Times , in which he revealed – or took credit for, depending on whose side you’re on – changes to Labour’s immigration policy. Did he break the ministerial code? And is he lobbying for a job with team Burnham? Oscar Edmondson speaks to Tim Shipman and Noa Hoffman. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
