Burnham backs Starmer to stay as PM but says Labour must ‘dial down’ briefings against each other – UK politics live

Key Labour figures have rallied around the prime minister amid speculation over his leadership

Kemi Badenoch has said that Keir Starmer just received a stay of execution" yesterday. Speaking to reporters on a visit this morning, she said:

[Starmer] is in a very dangerous place. The Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said the quiet bit out loud.

Labour MPs and the Labour party have lost confidence in their leader, but the MPs are too scared of losing their jobs, so they're not going to call an election, and they've given him a stay of execution. The sad thing is that the country is suffering from not being governed at all.
