Ten years after Britain voted to leave the European Union, the UK could once again be facing a dramatic change in leadership. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under mounting pressure amid growing speculation about his political future, with reports suggesting support within his own party is weakening and talk of a possible leadership contest gathering pace.
The uncertainty comes as Andy Burnham returns to Westminster after winning a seat in Parliament, fuelling speculation that he could emerge as a contender should Labour enter a period of transition.
Is Starmer’s position becoming untenable? What does the turmoil say about the state of British politics a decade after Brexit? And who could be next to lead the country?
Gavin Lee speaks to Matthew Torbitt, former Labour advisor and political commentator and France 24’s London correspondent Bénédicte Paviot about the growing pressure on Keir Starmer, the shifting balance of power within Labour and what could happen next at Westminster.
