Starmer will fight attempts to replace him, allies say
""in full bunker mode""
""won't help the government out of the hole we're in.""
""He will fight this,""
""He is one of only two people alive who have won a general election for Labour. It'd be madness to run against him after 17 months.""
Allies of the prime minister insist he will resist any Labour-backed leadership challenge. Friends of Sir Keir express deep concern about plotting to replace him and warn of grave risks from such a challenge. Potential candidates named by Labour MPs include Wes Streeting, Shabana Mahmood, Ed Miliband and Louise Haigh. Downing Street is described as "in full bunker mode" and critics say that stance "won't help the government out of the hole we're in." Ministers cite the 2021 Hartlepool by-election as a cautionary lesson and note a likely crunch after devolved and local elections next May.
