Keir Starmer's leadership is hanging by a thread as rivals prepare to strike. Angela Rayner launched an extraordinary attack on the Prime Minister's record, unveiling a hard-Left plan and signaling an alliance with Andy Burnham. Allies of Wes Streeting indicated he is prepared to launch a leadership bid. They believe the rebellion over the local elections will force a contest, with Ed Miliband possibly running. Starmer will make a final plea today, but faces a leadership challenge if Catherine West secures enough support. Prominent Left-wing figures warned against a 'palace coup' without a proper contest. Concerns were raised against a rushed election that could favor Streeting. Amid the turmoil, a close ally of Starmer turned against him, claiming he had 'lost the country'. The number of MPs calling for the PM to quit reached 40. Starmer stated his intention to stay in office for eight more years and vowed to fight any challenge.
