About this listen

Keir Starmer has blocked Andy Burnham’s bid to run in the Gorton and Denton by-election, but has he just delayed the leadership challenge many in Westminster believe is inevitable?

If there is a challenge, does the Labour Party risk descending into the same internal conflicts that helped bring down the Conservatives?

Starmer's latest foreign destination is China for a meeting with President Xi but is travelling the globe as an international statesman staving off restless Labour MPs?

Meanwhile, he says his relentless focus is the cost-of-living crisis but are the public, or his MPs buying it?

On the latest episode of the Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by our Senior Political Correspondent Paul McNamara, the I-paper's chief political commentator Kitty Donaldson, and Political Editor of the Liverpool Echo, Liam Thorp.
