About this listen

Angela Rayner has entered the chat. Last night she gave a speech to Labour members which many are reading as the soft launch of her leadership bid. She told the room that Labour needs to be more ‘bold’ – echoing Gordon Brown as she called for a more left-wing direction. She took aim specifically at Shabana Mahmood’s immigration reforms, describing them as ‘un-British’. Is she staging a coup? And is she the viable leader that Labour can rally around?

Also today, we had PMQs with lots more difficult questions on Mandelson and Iran – who came out on top?

Oscar Edmondson speaks to Isabel Hardman and James Heale.

Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
