Breaking News: Prime Minister Keir Starmer Vows to Defend Leadership Amid Replacement Threats
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has vowed to defend his leadership as allies warn of potential threats from within the Labour Party. According to sources, Starmer's job may be under threat as early as shortly after the Budget in a fortnight's time.
Starmer's allies are making it clear that he will fight any challenge to his leadership from Labour MPs. This move comes as critics express concerns that the government is "in full bunker mode" and that a leadership challenge will not help to improve the party's situation.
The potential threat to Starmer's leadership has sparked fears among his loyal supporters, who are seeking to make clear the risks of a leadership challenge. Sources have revealed that names being discussed as potential candidates to replace Starmer include Wes Streeting, the health secretary, and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood.
The situation is unfolding rapidly, with the Budget set to take place in a fortnight's time. This could be a critical moment for Starmer's leadership, with the outcome of the Budget potentially influencing the party's fortunes.
