The Green Party of England and Wales has won the Gorton and Denton by-election, with Hannah Spencer (pictured) taking the seat from Labour in the Greens' first-ever Westminster by-election victory.
Natalie and Phil meet at the Scottish Labour conference in Paisley to talk to MPs and MSPs about what their party does now. Can Keir Starmer continue as Prime Minister? Did Anas Sarwar get it right when he called for him to resign? And how do they fight an election campaign amid such division?
