Sir Keir Starmer could be ousted as PM within months, two senior Labour MPs tell Sky News | Politics News

Sky News deputy political editor Sam Coates said his sources – a member of the government and an eminent politician – “put Sir Keir Starmer in opinion”.
Both warned that, if the work behaves badly during the May elections through Wales, Scotland and London, this could mark the end of its time at Downing Street.
