The Newsagents podcast is brought to you by HSBC UK, opening up a world of opportunity.

This is a global player original podcast. How long do you think the Prime Minister has got?

Well, I think what happened yesterday was that the Labour Party as a whole looked over the precipice and thought the right thing to do is to support our leader who was elected 18 months ago with a clear man.

That was the Energy Secretary Ed Miliband saying that the Labour Party had looked over the brink and stepped back again.

Kirstama is still in office, he's still Prime Minister, but is he as Kemi Badenok has argued,

in office, but not in power?

What actually happened yesterday? What do we understand 24 hours later about an attempted

coup that never quite took off. Welcome to the newsagents.

The Newsagents. It's Emily. It's Lewis. And Monday was one of those very weird Westminster days where if unlike us, you are a normal person

who maybe looked at the news first thing in the morning and looked at the news when you left work

in the evening, you will have been blissfully unaware that something almost happened.

And the rest of us, journalists and so on, covering it minute by minute,

had to describe a series of events that looked as if it might just have led to Kea Stama being removed from office, but it didn't.

We were doing the show almost in real time yesterday, almost as sort of rolling news,

which is a little bit difficult sometimes when you're a podcast. But where we've got to is we saw a series of events

where first thing in the morning, Kirstehm lost another key number 10 operative. That's Tim Allen,

his director of communications. Shortly afterwards, the whole of Westminster started to reverberate because we heard

that Anasawa, the Scottish Labour leader, would call on Keir Stama to resign. And it was at that

moment that it looked as if the dominoes, the line of dominoes were about to fall. And then we waited,

and we waited. And actually, rather than the dominoes falling, they came out fighting one by one for Keir Stambe. I like fighting dominos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My favourite thing. When I left. My favourite thing on a Saturday evening. Exactly. It's so much better than Greyhound racing. Absolutely. Yeah. Well, particularly for you, you wouldn't like that. Definitely not. But when we left, we were just hearing from our editor, Tom,

that we might have to be back here doing an emergency episode

if Kirstama had vanished by 7 o'clock last night.
