<p>This week: Michael and Maddie examine the crisis engulfing the Labour party and ask whether Keir Starmer is facing a Boris-style collapse of authority.</p><p>They explore what could be to come in the continued fallout from the Peter Mandelson affair, the rebellion over the release of government files, and what Starmer’s pattern of scapegoating aides reveals about his grip on power. Is this a corruption scandal – or something more damaging: a failure of judgment?</p><p>Finally, they look ahead to what comes next. If Starmer’s authority is ebbing, who could replace him? From Angela Rayner to Wes Streeting – and the outsiders hovering on the edge – will internal revolt mark the beginning of a wider realignment in British politics?</p><p>Produced by Oscar Edmondson.</p><p>To submit your urgent questions to Michael and Maddie, visit spectator.com/quiteright </p><p>Become a <em>Spectator </em>subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
