Watch: Chopping and changing of leadership ‘not in our national interest’, says Starmer
Next, the interview moves on to questions over Starmer’s future in Number 10, something that has been a hot topic in Westminster as his poll ratings have tumbled.
Many are looking towards May’s elections in Scotland, Wales and across England as a potentially key point if Labour suffer big losses.
Asked if there are any circumstances in which he would walk away should there be a leadership challenge after that, he says: “Under the last government, we saw constant chopping and changing of leadership, of teams, it caused utter chaos, utter chaos, and it’s amongst the reasons that the Tories were booted out so effectively at the last election.”
He says he is “not going to take us back to that kind of chaos”.
Asked again if he would walk away, the PM suggests he will lead the party into the next general election, and says he “will be judged at the next general election on whether we have brought about the change that people voted for”.
That’s the end of Starmer’s interview – we’ll bring you reaction from the guests shortly.
