Uk, Labour Party in chaos: Starmer denies plot to replace him
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch had good cause to declare that it is now 'civil war' in the Labour party and that Starmer 'has now lost control of the government'
Westminster in chaos: Prime Minister Keir Starmer today was forced to deny in Parliament that there is a plot in the Labour Party to replace him, after some of his close associates accused Wes Streeting, the popular Health Minister, of being the 'Brutus' ready to take him out.
"I have never authorised any attacks against my ministers and I consider these attacks to be completely unacceptable," Starmer said, insisting that his government is 'united', a word that has caused hilarity in the ranks of the conservative opposition.
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch was quick to declare that it is now 'civil war' in the Labour party and that Starmer 'has now lost control of the government'.
It all stemmed from confidential information that sources inside Downing Street gave to several journalists about alleged attempts to replace Starmer at the helm of the party and the country, and the premier's determination to resist and remain in his post.
Some blamed Streeting, who yesterday reaffirmed his loyalty to the premier and branded rumours of a plot as 'puerile' and completely unfounded. Others have named Shabana Mahmood, Minister of the Interior.
