30
There's been four ministerial resignations.
31
Whether for all the goodwill in the world and the best intentions he wants to continue as Prime Minister, can you hand on heart say that he can command the confidence of the Labour Party any more?
32
I mean, the writing's on the wall, isn't it?
33
It's been a dramatic week.
34
But I think he can continue.
35
He wants to continue.
36
And he wants to do the job he was elected to do.
37

38
He's got every right to do that.
39

40

47
This a government that promised change now paralysed.
48
Beth Rigby, Sky News.
49
So Beth, we've heard potentially from the challenges as would be.
50
Who's speaking up for the Prime Minister?
51
Well, Pat McFadden.
52
Poor Pat McFadden was sort of dispatched on the round and he literally came on to do the round as the news broke.
53
So he was really kind of rifting in the moment.
54
Look, to be fair to the Prime Minister, we've heard a lot of noise today from those that would want to challenge him.
55
But actually, he does have over 100 MPs that have publicly come out to support him.
56
He has about eight or nine cabinet ministers on my last count that are publicly taken to the airways to support him.

61
Ed Miliband, The Energy Secretary has privately told him this.
62
West Street is now resigning.
63
But he is helped by the fact that the party is split.
64
The problem he's got is, I would argue, that if you lose the confidence of 90 of your backbenchers,
65
which is nearly a quarter of the parliamentary party, you've got four resignations, a cabinet resignation, you just can't command the confidence of your party into the long term.
66
And so I think that's where, for Starmer, as much as he wishes it wasn't the case and he would like to carry on, I think the momentum is moving against him.
67
And I think that will just build and build and build.
68
And I think fundamentally what he actually needs to happen is for Labour to improve in the polls, for the economic outlook to improve so people feel a bit better off.
69
So if that change message that he promised in 2024 has some tangible basis in everyone's reality.
70
but he's now hamstrung because the chaos in the party and the paralysis, therefore, in his government, it just becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that he's not the right leader.
71
So it's a really, really...
72
I think it's a very turbulent time now while we wait to see if Burnham can come back and then whether a leadership race will be triggered, which I think it will.
73
The test for Burnham, though, is can he win the seat?
74
reform won all of the eight council seats in that part of the world in the local elections.
75
If he can win it, then he comes back to Westminster.
76
I am the guy that can save Labour from a reformed government, which is what a lot of MPs are worried about.
77
They said to me, as Jess Phillips in that interview said, we're handing reform, we're handing the government, we're handing the country to reform if we don't change Starmer.
78
and that is quite a pervasive view now across many MPs, particularly those in the Red Wall.

为什么与这个视频练习口语？
观看这段视频是提升英语口语能力的绝佳机会。视频中包含了与政治相关的最新动态，反映出真实的对话场景，适合进行看YouTube学英语的学习者。通过模仿演讲者的语气和表达方式，学习者不仅能够增强自己的口语能力，还能建立对复杂话题的理解。此外，这种练习方式有助于在实际对话中更自信地表达意见，特别是在与他人讨论政治、领导力等重要话题时。
语法与表达的语境
- 条件句：视频中提到“如果…那么…”的表达形式，可以帮助学习者理解如何在讨论假设情况时使用这类句子。例如，"如果他继续作为总理，他也许会面临更多的挑战。" -- 使用这种结构可以让你的表达更具逻辑性。
- 被动语态：视频中有多处使用被动语态的例子，例如“总理的命运现在超出了他的控制。” 被动语态对于强调行为的结果而非执行者非常有效，适合在正式演讲中使用。
- 直接引语：例如，“你能诚实地说他能再次获得工党的信心吗？” 直接引语的使用使对话显得更生动，同时也展示了演讲者的观点，使学习者能够在自己的口语中运用类似表达。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中，有一些容易出错的单词和发音，学习者需要特别注意。比如，“leadership”（领导层）中的“lead”发音，英语学习者常将其与“lead”（铅）混淆。练习时可通过英语影子跟读来改善这种发音。再比如，“crisis”（危机）中的短元音/i/的发音，以及“government”和“confidence”这两个词中的音节重音问题，都是需要通过提高英语发音的练习来克服的困难。通过这些细节的把握，能更好地传达你自己的观点，甚至在雅思口语练习中也会显得更加流利。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
