Why Starmer finally came out to give his full backing to his tearful chancellor
There are moments in politics where the situation has spun so badly out of control that somebody has to step in quickly to end the chaos. Most famously in recent history it was former 1922 committee chairman Sir Graham Brady's visit to Liz Truss in Downing Street to force her to resign after the mini-budget fallout. But last night Keir Starmer had reached such a moment. His government was in meltdown. A brutal 48 hours had seen him apparently lose control of his government's policy agenda after the welfare reform rebellion by Labour backbenchers. This had been followed by him failing to guarantee his chancellor's future in PMQs as she sat behind him in tears. The optics of the drama at PMQs fed into the picture of a government that was rapidly going into a tailspin. With a £5bn black hole in the country's finances left by the welfare retreat, fevered speculation over a reshuffle, and no real sign of a plan to sort things out. But the real problem was that the gilt markets – the same issue that ended the Truss government – had taken notice of what was happening and not happening and reacted accordingly. The black hole in the finances, the lack of a vote of confidence in the chancellor and Rachel Reeves' apparently distraught personal state were all enough for the UK's credit rating to come under threat. A spokesperson from Downing Street trying to tell journalists that the prime minister had confidence in the chancellor after the fact was simply not enough. This was doubly true when various bits of spin about it being a personal matter or a row with the Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle were offered as explanation for the tears. As the front pages began to drop with pictures of Reeves and questions over whether Sir Keir backed her on them, the prime minister had to reassert his authority and personally give his chancellor his support. Without that, his big speech on NHS reform today would have been a sidenote to a story about a government that was in a state of collapse. It was always planned for him to do interviews to mark his first year in office, but the one with BBC's podcast Political Thinking with Nick Robinson gave an early opportunity to help fix the self-inflicted damage and restore order. He has now effusively given Reeves his backing, which will not please many Labour MPs and now may make it difficult to remove her if he was so minded. However, he has at least restored some semblance of order given himself some breathing space to work out how he is going to wrestle back the political agenda from his fractious backbench MPs.

My listeners prove it: this is the most unpopular Government ever
I am sure there have been more unhappy political anniversaries in recent years. But for the life of me I can't think of one as joyless as this. As Keir Starmer prepares for the commemoration of his election win one year ago he must be wondering where it all went wrong. After 14 years of the Tories the electorate were ready to try something else. No more infighting, no more personality politics, no more indecision. It was time for change and the country was ready. But the loveless landslide, for that is what it was, has proved to be much less than it was cracked up to be. As a triumphant Starmer spoke on July 5 last year on the steps of Downing Street he was filled with a new hope, an obvious zeal and a determination to bring change to Britain. He announced with his customary stiff upper lip that there was much work to be done 'and that work begins now'. Just 363 days later Starmer was humiliated in Parliament as his severely watered down Welfare Bill limped through thanks to a rebellion in the ranks. Concessions to rebels were being made by the Prime Minister right up to the wire but he still managed to suffer his biggest humiliation yet – 49 individual Labour MPs who marked their card against him. Back in July 2024 the country might not have been thrilled with the idea of a Labour government. But there was a hope that at least it might just have been different. Anything but the Tories was the message. A full twelve months later Two-tier Keir has brought Britain misery, pessimism and disappointment – and that's just to his own side. For the rest of us it has been a litany of scandal, policy u-turns, failed appointments and mis-steps on the public stage. Listeners and viewers at Talk had had enough of the Conservatives by the time Rishi Sunak called the election. Many of them had already defected to Reform feeling that neither of the main parties served them honestly or well. Few expected the new shiny Labour Party to provide any surprises. But thousands of them now get in touch every week telling me how they believe this to be the worst government ever in their lifetimes. The truth is that Starmer has never really looked the part. His awkward manner, stilted speech and lack of spontaneity quickly indicated this would be a wooden administration – unlikely to inspire. But I think what has really shocked my viewers and listeners has been the complete incompetence that has been on show since day one. And the lies. Always the lies. First it was the Lord Ali scandal. The Prime Minister who promised a government of service was no different after all. In fact his hypocrisy possibly made him worse than his predecessors, with free suits, dresses and glasses for him and his family, plus a free penthouse in Covent Garden, free trips to New York for Angela Rayner and more free tickets to concerts and sports events than you could shake a hockey stick at. Then there came the exposure at the heart of individual Cabinet members' personal stories. There was Chancellor Rachel Reeves and the funny CV, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds who never was the solicitor he had claimed to be for a decade. Transport Minister Louise Haigh had to step down after it was revealed she had a criminal conviction for fraud. His friend Tulip Siddiq had to go when Bangladeshi authorities named her in a multi-million pound corruption probe into her aunt, the former leader of the country. That was before they took the winter fuel allowance off pensioners, threatened farmers with extinction over the inheritance tax and poo-pooed the need for a national enquiry into the grooming gangs. Now that his flagship Welfare Bill has passed without any of its initial savings, without any of its proposed reforms and without any of its aims intact, Starmer has universally lost the argument, lost authority and lost the goodwill of his party. The first year of this Starmer government has been about as disastrous as it could have been. No one could have predicted it. Chancellor Rachel Reeves is holed below the waterline and cannot possibly survive given that none of the £5 billion projected savings will come to pass. It will be almost impossible for her to avoid breaking her own fiscal rules In the next few weeks. In Downing Street tonight there will be panic setting in. Starmer's advisors will be wondering how they can rescue the next year of government. But many of them won't survive. If I was a betting man, I'd wager that Starmer won't survive either.

African Democratic Congress: Nigeria's Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi form new party to challenge Bola Tinubu
Nigeria's two main opposition leaders have joined a new political party to challenge President BolaTinubu and his ruling party in the next Abubakar and Peter Obi have chosen the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as their new political home after breaking away from their respective parties - the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP). This is one of the biggest shake-ups in Nigerian politics since the end of military rule in political heavyweights from Tinubu's All Progressives Congress (APC) party have also thrown their weight behind the new political movement. Why have they formed a coalition? The announcement of the ADC is the culmination of a series of talks between the leaders to put up a united front in the 2027 election, rather than splitting their vote. Tinubu won the 2023 election with just 37% of the vote after opposition supporters were divided between Abubakar who got 29%, and Obi with 25%.Obi had broken away from the PDP after the party chose Abubakar as its presidential candidate. At the unveiling of the ADC, interim chairman David Mark said it was an attempt to save the country's democracy and to stop Nigeria from becoming a one-party the PDP and LP are also battling internal crises which some believe were instigated by external Shehu Iliyasu said Abubakar and Obi are learning the lessons of the last election."Both Atiku [Abubakar] and Obi felt they came so close in 2023 and would have maybe won on a joint ticket so they want to amend their mistake by working together this time around," he told the BBC. Who are the main characters in the ADC? Tinubu's biggest challengers in the last elections, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi are the face of the there's a long way to go before candidates are officially announced, political commentators are predicting that Abubakar will have another shot at the presidency - it would be his fifth attempt - with former Anambra governor Obi as his vice-presidential political heavyweights in the coalition include former Senate President David Mark, who like Atiku is leaving the PDP, former Tinubu ally turned foe Nasir El-Rufai and powerful minister in the last dispensation Rotimi Amaechi. What are their chances in 2027? Analyst Ben Kenneth say he believes the coalition has a better chance of defeating Tinubu than last time."If you look at what Atiku and Obi got in the last election, it's clear to see that they would've won assuming they worked together, so it's a good thing they have realised they need each other,' he noted. However, another analyst Sani Hamisu feels Tinubu has a better chance now than in 2023."In Nigeria and Africa, when a leader is in office seeking a second term, he hardly loses, it is very rare and that's why I feel Tinubu has a better chance now than when he wasn't in office in 2019," he said. Is the ruling party worried? The ruling party says it is not bothered in the least by the coalition which it does not see as a real chairman Ali Bukar Dalori told BBC Hausa the coalition would have no impact on the APC."Nobody is talking about a coalition except in Abuja. Even in Abuja, they are in a hotel, and when they are defeated in elections, they will leave the country," he said. What are the main political parties saying? The country's biggest opposition party, the PDP had since ruled out joining the coalition, preferring to face the APC on its Labour Party also called on its supporters to remain focused and resolute behind the party, denying any plans to join a coalition.
