Former Tory MP Michael Fabricant has delivered his verdict on the future of politics and shocked GB News host Tom Harwood when he claimed "Angela Rayner will be the next Prime Minister."
In an interview at the Conservative party conference in Birmingham, Fabricant launched an attack on the current Labour leader.
He said: "Look, I'm a realist. In four years' time people may forget, but you know what I think? Keir Starmer is deeply flawed.
"I actually think he's a dud. I think all the mistakes that have been made, all the gaffes will be repeated.

"That's what happened, of course, with Boris. If Keir Starmer doesn't find himself more popular in a year or two I think there'll be moves against him.
