"Just last night, [Sir Keir's] allies accused not just the Health Secretary but the Home Secretary and even the Energy Secretary of launching leadership bids. "These attacks came from No10, nowhere else, his toxic Number 10. The person responsible for the culture in Number 10 is his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney. Does the Prime Minister have full confidence in him?""
""My focus each and every day is on rebuilding and renewing our country. But let me be absolutely clear, any attack on any member of my cabinet is completely unacceptable.""
""Morgan McSweeney, my team and I are absolutely focused on delivering for the country. Let me be clear, of course, I've never authorised attacks on cabinet members, I appointed them to their post because they're the best people to carry out their jobs.""
Sir Keir Starmer faced questions in Prime Minister's Questions about alleged toxic behaviour within Downing Street. Health Secretary Wes Streeting criticised Downing Street sources for "self‑destructive behaviour" and accused No.10 of attempts to "kneecap" him amid coup speculation. Starmer condemned such briefings as "completely unacceptable" and insisted he has never authorised attacks on Cabinet ministers. Tory leader Kemi Badenoch highlighted allegations that No.10 allies accused several ministers of launching leadership bids and pointed to the chief of staff as responsible for Number 10's culture. Starmer insisted his team remains focused on delivering for the country.
