This is The Guardian.

We assume that this government is, you know, under Kirstarmy, is drawing to an end.

It's actually the fate of a 120-year-old project called a Labour Party.

It's been a busy week. He has my support. The government has my support. They will know that the guy they're applauding is toast and it is only a matter of time before you pull him out and put the butter on, right? Well, he represents a kind of stability. I would say the stability of a graveyard. You can throw names around. You can talk about Andy Burnham,

Angela Rainer. However, as far as the energy in British politics has gone, it has deserted this

government. Kirstama's cabinet has fallen into line after days of turmoil. So can this mark a moment

of reset for the Prime Minister, or is it the beginning of the end? From The Guardian's

today in focus,

this is the latest with me, Lucy Hove. Joining me is the Ditchie Chakraborti Guardian columnist.

Thanks so much for being with us in the studio, Ditchie. It's great to see you.

Pleasure, Lucy. So what a 24 hours it has been. Around this time yesterday, we would likely have been having a conversation

about the likelihood of the lectern being placed outside number 10. We had Anisawa, the leader of

Scottish Labour, due to speak then. But as the afternoon went on and has been covered in an

exceptional episode of today and focus this morning, which I'd urge you to listen to about a story

of the day.

Kirstarman now seems in a relatively strong position to continue. He addressed his own MPs at the

parliamentary Labour Party last night, the PLP, which went down well, it sounds like. Lots of standing

ovations, lots of applause. You surprised me, Lucy.

I mean, in the forum of the parliamentary Labour Party,

you're having a meeting at which people do performative applause for periods of time, bang the desks,

say what a wonderful Prime Minister they've got.

I mean, the thing I would say about every one of those 400 plus MPs is they will know that the guy they're applauding is toast.
