Labour is replacing Starmer because the public 'don't like' him, says minister

Trade minister Sir Chris Bryant says he pays tribute to the achievements of Sir Keir Starmer, but that Labour is replacing him because the public "don't like" him.

Bryant says Starmer has many achievements in office: "Top of the list would be that we've taken more children out of poverty than any government in history. Half a million kids."

But, he says Starmer made "mistakes" and Labour heard on the doorstep that "a lot of people don't like" him.
