Why John Healey's resignation is 'devastating' for Keir Starmer

Tom Bradby and Robert Peston discuss defence secretary John Healey's resignation, after a row with the prime minister over military spending, in which he accused Keir Starmer of making the country "less safe". He wrote to the PM to resign with "great regret and reluctance", citing disagreements about defence spending ahead of the release of the delayed Defence Investment Plan (DIP). Tom and Robert reflect on why this resignation is particularly damaging for Keir Starmer and whether his position is now beyond saving.
