Starmer insists 'majority' of Labour MPs back his leadership
Starmer said Labour MPs remain loyal as he rejected criticism over Lord Mandelson vetting and defended sacking senior civil servant Sir Olly Robbins.
- Sir Keir insisted the "vast majority" of Labour MPs support him on Sunday, dismissing leadership speculation following the Lord Mandelson vetting scandal.
- Defending the firing, Sir Keir stated he does not regret sacking Sir Olly Robbins, the senior Foreign Office civil servant who failed to report "double red flag" security warnings regarding Mandelson.
- A Survation poll for Labour List shows Labour members split on leadership, with 46 per cent in favour of change and 44 per cent wanting Sir Keir to remain.
- Alex Burghart, shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, accused Sir Keir of breaching the ministerial code regarding an unlogged February 2025 visit to Palantir in Washington.
- Sir Keir told the Sunday Times he prioritizes the wars in Ukraine and tensions with Iran, arguing domestic political maneuvering distracts from pressing national security issues.
