'This Is Ridiculous': Lewis Goodall Demolishes Labour Leadership Speculation

Lewis Goodall and Pat McFadden Presenter Lewis Goodall tore into a minister on LBC on Sunday over the ongoing Labour leadership speculation. Speaking to work and pensions secretary Pat McFadden, the LBC host said it was “ridiculous” to see the government “in stasis” while waiting to see if a coup happens. His words come as Labour and Reform battle it out in the Makerfield by-election in a crunch vote which could determine the next prime minister. Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham is the Labour candidate, and if he wins, he is likely to challenge Keir Starmer’s premiership. Makerfield MP Josh Simons stood aside earlier this month just so Burnham had a path to parliament.

This, he shared, is up from one diversion a week a decade ago. “It’s becoming a real challenge for all airlines. I fail to understand why anybody in airport bars is serving people at five or six o’clock in the morning.
