In The Room co-host and former No 10 special advisor Cleo Watson has reacted to Keir Starmer’s emotional resignation speech, drawing parallels to her former boss Theresa May’s departure.
Cleo explains how hard these moments are for the family of the prime minister, and says that Starmer, despite knowing he will soon be replaced, must continue to do the job of running the country in the lead up to the summer recess.
For more analysis on what exactly happens next inside No 10, the crucial mistake made by Starmer, and Wes Streeting’s sudden turn from Labour leadership contender to Burnham backer, tune in to In The Room tomorrow to hear from Cleo and Helen MacNamara, ex-deputy cabinet secretary.
