He added: “No, I’m not worried that he was talking to anyone about succession planning, because I know he was talking to all of us about how we got rid of this country from a government that has been holding us back for the last 12 years.” Pressing again on the BBC’s Sunday Policy as to whether he had been involved in any succession planning with the Labor leader, Ms Nadi reiterated that it was “utter nonsense” and said she had “no discussion with Kir Starman about the succession”.

Mr Brown said the Labor leader would become a “great prime minister”, adding: “What ‘s exciting about the possibility of Kir Starmar’s leadership is that he will have a plan for Britain. “It simply came to our notice then. It will show how we can raise the standard of living again and it will show how we can have a fairer society facing problems such as climate change. “
