Starmer’s team in “bunker mode” amid coup rumours within U.K. Labour Party

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s office has reportedly gone into “bunker mode” following speculation that senior Labour Party figures are plotting to oust him.

According to The Guardian, growing unease among MPs centres on claims that Health Secretary Wes Streeting could be preparing a leadership challenge backed by around 50 influential Labour members.



The move could come after the upcoming budget or May’s local elections, as Starmer’s popularity and poll numbers continue to slump.

His aides have warned that any attempt to remove him would be “reckless,” while Streeting has denied involvement, blaming “toxic culture” in No. 10 for fuelling rumours.

Critics have attacked Starmer’s leadership amid economic discontent, rising taxes, and wavering immigration policies, with opposition MPs accusing him of losing control of his government.

  1. Who could fill this insidious vacuum?
    Ed Miliband?
    Out of the frying pan into the fire
    England UK Britain is broken and done on both sides
    Double battered and Dixie fried
    Wait for the bombshell budget as confirmation

  2. Hardly likely. The European bankers who funded the Cromwellian revolution made their HQ in the City of London after Cromwell opened England to the Tribe and are now firmly in control.
    Ask the only man who entered the British Parliament with honest intent since Guido Fawkes – Jeremy Corbyn.
