GB News is reporting that Sir Keir Starmer’s rivals in the Labour Party are so close to taking power that he is “already fighting leadership election”.
The news channel has posted online how Starmer has secretly sworn to crush any attempt by Labour rivals to oust him from Downing Street, as the embattled Prime Minister digs in for a bitter leadership battle.
Bracing for a brutal drubbing in May’s elections, Sir Keir is steeling himself for a tidal wave of pressure to quit in the wake of Chancellor Rachel Reeves‘s tax-raising Budget, set to be unleashed on November 26.
Insiders say furious critics accusing the Prime Minister’s inner circle of cranking up a vicious briefing war against his potential successors.
The explosive claims come just months after Downing Street was rocked by allegations of a “toxic” culture, as Sir Keir’s team was accused of unleashing a series of brutal attacks on senior figures like Angela Rayner, Lucy Powell and Lisa Nandy.
But Sir Keir’s loyal lieutenants have told The Times that the defiant Prime Minister will refuse to quit if Labour MPs try to topple him, vowing to take on all-comers in any leadership contest.
The Prime Minister’s backers even claimed he is already in full campaign mode, reaching out to Labour backbenchers as he gears up for the fight of his political life.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood have both found themselves in the firing line, accused of scheming behind the scenes to replace their boss.
As the leadership rumours reach fever pitch, insiders believe Angela Rayner could emerge as the ultimate “kingmaker” in any bloody battle to seize the keys to No10.
