Keir Starmer Survives One More Day

“Keir Starmer has survived a day in which a top aide resigned and his most senior colleague yet tried to topple him. Or as he calls it: Monday,” Politico reports.

“Aides to Britain’s prime minister — under pressure about his former U.S. ambassador Peter Mandelson’s friendship with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — extracted public vows of support from his entire Cabinet after Labour’s leader in Scotland, Anas Sarwar, called for Starmer to resign.”

“Sarwar’s move did not snowball into the full-blown coup feared by No. 10 Downing Street.”
