Labour SOS signals Starmer in distress

WITH Keir Starmer’s credibility melting away quicker than an ice cream on a hot day, tomorrow’s parliamentary summer recess can’t come quickly enough for him.

Labour SOS signals Starmer in distress

The hot months of June and July have certainly proved sticky for Keir. His back-benchers have grown ever more ungovernable and fractious, climaxing in 127 of them flexing their muscles to bring down his welfare reforms, leaving the Prime Minister with a serious authority problem and Rachel Reeves in tears wondering where she'll find the £5bn hole left by the collapse of their flagship policy on benefits.

Come September, however, I suspect even worse is in store for Starmer, with another welfare showdown looming over the two-child benefit cap — which could force some Labour MPs into the arms of other parties like the new Corbyn party, Collective, should he actually get it up and running.
