‘They all think Keir is done’: how push to protect Starmer’s job backfired spectacularly

The recent turmoil surrounding Keir Starmer's leadership has intensified, particularly following a failed briefing operation that aimed to protect his position. This incident has led to growing calls for the resignation of his chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, amid accusations of undermining party unity. The pressure on Starmer is palpable, as both ministers and MPs express dissatisfaction with his handling of the situation, indicating a broader crisis within the Labour Party that could affect its future stability.
