Labour revolt looms as MPs edge toward challenging Starmer
TL;DR Summary
Labour faces internal turmoil after local-election losses and resignations spark calls for Sir Keir Starmer to quit; potential challengers include Angela Rayner, Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham, while Starmer insists he will govern. A leadership contest would require 81 MPs backing a candidate, and more than 150 MPs have signalled support for him or said it’s not the time.
