Britain just changed its Prime Minister without a single vote. Keir Starmer gave his final Prime Minister's Questions today, and on Monday Andy Burnham walks into Downing Street after a quiet, unopposed coronation.

In this episode:
• Why Starmer is out after just two years, and how his replacement was chosen behind closed doors
• Shabana Mahmood set to be Chancellor over Ed Miliband, and the unelected former banker who may really run the Treasury
• The one hundred billion pound deficit and the wealth tax question Burnham refused to answer

• Starmer's parting legacy, from the Hillsborough Law to Ronan's Law to the forced adoption apology
