Starmer clings on – but for how long?

The Daily T

About

Sir Keir Starmer has pulled his premiership back from the brink. The PM secured the support of most of his party with an uncharacteristic show of passion at a meeting of Labour MPs on Monday night – but, with local elections imminent, his position is far from secure.


Camilla and Tim are joined by the Labour MP and Starmer ally Karl Turner, who says the “terribly cautious” PM needs to be “more normal” and focus on delivery.


Plus, King Charles has thrown his brother under a Royal carriage with a statement offering his support to the police as they “assess” Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s alleged leaking to Jeffrey Epstein.


Could this change in tactic have anything to do with the monarch being heckled by the public?
