Keir Starmer is facing mounting unrest from political opponents and those within Labour circles in the wake of Lord Mandelson’s humiliating sacking.
New Labour architect Mandelson was dramatically fired from his role as US ambassador on Thursday after the emergence of emails to notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, describing him as his ‘best pal’.
The scandal has enraged many MPs who are furious at Sir Keir for selecting Lord Mandelson for the post in the first place.
Left-wing MP Clive Lewis became the first to call for the PM to go yesterday afternoon, telling the BBC‘s The Week in Westminster that the atmosphere in the Parliamentary Labour Party had become ‘very, very dangerous’.
And it has since emerged that Manchester mayor Andy Burnham could be plotting to oust Sir Keir, with a sitting MP allegedly prepared to stand down to let Mr Burnham back into the House of Commons.
Now, as a disastrous week for the Labour Party ends with further fury on the horizon, you can vote in the Daily Mail’s poll on whether Sir Keir should be booted from Downing Street.
