‘It's bleak’: Starmer on borrowed time as Cabinet splits
4/23/202642 min
Sir Keir Starmer’s days as Prime Minister appear to be numbered, with briefings from Cabinet ministers that suggest growing discontent over the Mandelson saga.
Camilla and Tim assess whether Starmer can limp on until the May local elections, and who might end up replacing him.
Plus, Telegraph journalists Robert Mendick and Claire Newell reveal the extraordinary role played by Lord Hermer, the Prime Minister’s friend whom he appointed Attorney General, in the failed prosecution of British soldiers in Iraq, and reflect on yet another damaging example of Sir Keir’s lack of judgment.
