The Traitors-style coup to bring down Keir Starmer | The Daily T

Westminster was thrown into chaos last night after Downing Street rushed to defend Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership amidst whispers of 'coup' to oust the leader. Starmer’s allies are pointing the finger at two of his top ministers, Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, accusing them of “leadership manoeuvres”. But Streeting flat out denied he had any such plans during his media rounds, saying he was ‘a Faithful’ in reference to the BBC series The Traitors. At PMQs, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch landed her punches, taking aim at Starmer's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney who she identified as responsible for No 10's toxic culture. In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla and Tim are joined by Political Editor Ben Riley-Smith to ‘uncloak’ the rumours, the rivalries and the truth behind Labour’s latest psychodrama. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/customer/subscribe/digitalsub/3for1/?WT.mc_id=tmgoff_pvid_conversion-subscription_editorial-iniative_03-22_EGW-13_organic_youtube ► Get the latest headlines: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/ ► Sign up to the Telegraph's free new daily newsletter, From the Editor, bringing you the latest news, features and analysis from the Telegraph newsroom: https://telegraph.co.uk/customer/secure/newsletter/from-the-editor/ #WestminsterChaos #LabourCoupRumours #StarmerUnderPressure #WesStreeting #ShabanaMahmood #MorganMcSweeney #KemiBadenoch #PMQs #UKPolitics #DowningStreet #LabourParty #PoliticalDrama #TheDailyT #CamillaAndTim #BenRileySmith #BritishPolitics #LeadershipCrisis #LabourInfighting #WestminsterWatch #PoliticalPsychodrama
