What is going on?
Sam and Anne share notes on the late night WhatsApp chats following a day of briefings about Sir Keir Starmer’s future (and the WhatsApps keep coming as we record).
The message from the PM’s team was if there’s a leadership challenge – from the someone in his own cabinet or elsewhere – he’d stand and fight.
Allies of Team Starmer have pointed a finger at Wes Streeting.
He’s denied any plot and has got an opportunity on the morning round to bolster that.
As one government figure said to Sam – “bonkers”. If the PM doesn’t trust the health secretary – how does he stay?
