Many of the papers focus on Sir Keir Starmer’s future; The Times claims that “disgruntled backbenchers” are planning a “coup” inspired by then-Chancellor Gordon Brown’s move against Tony Blair in 2006.

According to the report, several cabinet ministers were aware of this conspiracy. Starmer has suggested in recent weeks that he plans to fight the next election.
