Labour civil war LIVE: Keir Starmer ‘will fight any challenge’ | UK | News

GB News reports that Sir Keir Starmer’s Labor rivals are so close to seizing power that he is “already fighting the leadership election”.

The news channel revealed online how Starmer was secretly sworn in as the embattled Prime Minister prepared for a bitter leadership fight as he vowed to crush any attempt by his Labor rivals to oust him from Downing Street.

Sir Keir is bracing for a brutal push at May’s election and is bracing himself against tidal pressure from Chancellor Rachel Reeves to resign after her tax-raising Budget is due on 26 November.

Insiders say angry critics are accusing the Prime Minister’s inner circle of waging a brutal briefing war against his potential successors.

The explosive allegations come just months after Downing Street was rocked by allegations of a “toxic” culture, with Sir Keir’s team accused of carrying out a series of brutal attacks on senior figures including Angela Rayner, Lucy Powell and Lisa Nandy.

But Sir Keir’s loyal aides told The Times that the stubborn Prime Minister would refuse to resign if Labor MPs tried to oust him and had vowed to defeat any candidate in any leadership contest.

The Prime Minister’s supporters even claimed he was already in full campaign mode, reaching out to Labor supporters as he prepared for the fight of his political life.

Health Minister Wes Streeting and Home Affairs Minister Shabana Mahmood found themselves in the line of fire, accused of plotting behind the scenes to replace their bosses.

As leadership rumors reach a fever pitch, insiders believe Angela Rayner could emerge as the ultimate “kingmaker” in a bloody battle for the keys to No 10.
