Is it over for Keir Starmer?

PM

Available for 11 days

Despite his reset speech this morning, dozens of Labour MPs are calling for the Prime Minister to go. Catherine West MP has backed down from the threat she made on Saturday PM to trigger a leadership challenge against Keir Starmer. But there is still pressure for Sir Keir to set out a timetable for his departure. How can government work while leadership questions swirl? Also on the programme: in a world first, we broadcast a previously unheard score by the composer Vaughan Williams, discovered during a spring clean.
