"Sir Keir Starmer is facing open revolt. Senior union chiefs are calling for him to quit - and hand the reins to Angela Rayner. Maryam Eslamdoust, General Secretary of the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA), didn't hold back. She said it is "time Labour had a woman leader" and hailed Rayner as "credible" enough to take over. The attack comes as Labour braces for catastrophic losses in May's local elections."
"Last week, Fire Brigades Union chief Steve Wright publicly broke ranks and demanded Starmer resign over the Peter Mandelson scandal. He said the country needs a "leadership change." Wright had already warned Starmer he was on his "last chance." He hinted up to a dozen unions could join forces to force him out if Labour flops in the local elections."
Senior union chiefs are publicly calling for Keir Starmer to quit and hand leadership to Angela Rayner.

The Fire Brigades Union demanded Starmer resign over the Peter Mandelson scandal and warned he is on his last chance, suggesting up to a dozen unions could push for his removal if results are poor. Rayner's team rejected any contest, and Downing Street defended Starmer's standing.
