Welcome to Navarra Live. Coming up tonight as Labour MPs abandon the Prime Minister in droves,

0:09.1

will they find a candidate willing to mount a challenge? Could it be Andy Burnham and can he even return

0:14.6

to Westminster in time to be eligible? And later, we'll hear from Paul Holden, author of The Fraud, about Kier Stahmer's potentially short-lived time in office. I'm Aramberstani, and I have to say, Michael, I'm... I thought you've always forgot my name there. Who's this guy? I've worked with him 10 years, but it just escapes me. I am very enthusiastic to be joined by you tonight, Michael Walker.

We can have a great show. I'm a bit disappointing because I thought we were going to be a

0:46.4

resignation show. I thought maybe the podium was going to come out on Downing Street and we could,

show. You can also listen to the show on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. And finally, don't forget to let us know what

1:28.9

you think in the comments below.

1:43.5

But the message from number 10 remains ironclad.

1:47.2

In the words of Leo DiCaprio and the wolf of Wall Street, he ain't effing leaving. The Prime Minister

1:52.3
