A Labour MP Has Just Given Keir Starmer 8 Months To Save His Job

Keir Starmer leaves 10 Downing Street.Keir Starmer has been given eight months to save his job as Labour MPs lose faith in his ability to turn the government’s fortunes around.Left-winger Richard Burgon said the prime minister “will be gone” if next May’s elections are as disastrous as many in the party fear.Voters will go to the polls in Scotland, Wales and across England in what will be seen as a referendum on Starmer’s leadership of the country.Speaking on Radio 4′s Today programme this morning, Burgon – who was one of the Labour MPs who lost the party whip for voting to scrap the two-child benefit cap last year – said: “Lots of MPs are looking to the elections next May.“The opinion polls suggest it’s going to be a complete disaster unfortunately and there’ll be elections in the Scottish Parliament, elections in the Welsh Senedd, elections in London, elections right across the country and the opinion polls at the moment suggest that as it stands it’s going be a disaster.“I think it’s inevitable if May’s elections go as people predict and the opinion polls predict then I think Starmer will be gone at that time.”The Leeds East MP’s comments came a a day after another Labour MP, Graham Stringer, said Starmer was “supping in the last chance saloon”.He told Time Radio: “He seems to be unable to take quick, reasoned decisions and explain them politically. He doesn’t seem to have the basic skills that most politicians have. He’s an example of an intelligent, skilled man, at the top of his profession, whose skills are not transferable to politics. And what happens? You get a government fraying at the edges.“I have had a lot of conversations with MPs. You don’t start a conversation by saying, isn’t Keir poor, or isn’t he making mistakes? It is given that he’s doing poorly at the job. “He’s supping in the last-chance saloon now. He needs to take control of key critical issues. He seems to stand back and leave it up to other people”.Questions about the PM’s future have intensified in the past fortnight following a disastrous relaunch of his government.Starmer announced two weeks ago that he was entering “phase two” of his administration as he unveiled a shake-up of No.10 personnel.But since then he has lost his deputy, Angela Rayner, been forced to bring forward a major reshuffle of his cabinet and had to sack Peter Mandelson as the UK’s ambassador to Washington over his links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.Related...Keir Starmer Says 'We Will Never Surrender' Union Flag To Far-Right ThugsHow Civil War Gripped The Labour Party And Left MPs Asking: 'How Long Can Starmer Survive?'Peter Mandelson Has Gone – But Questions About Keir Starmer's Own Future Remain
