Will Starmer’s old Labour tribute strategy rescue him from the abyss? Probably not, but there’s a logic to it | Gaby Hinsliff

Gordon Brown and Harriet Harman offer experience and political craft, but to reap the benefits, the PM himself will have to change There comes a time, in the dying days of a relationship, when you start to become irritated merely by the sound of your partner’s breathing.

Aditya Chakrabortty on the Labour leader’s predicament – and if he may be the last prime minister of the two-party system In these highly polarised times, dunking on the prime minister – and this PM in particular – is the one thing that seems to unite people in fury, disappointment and loathing.

The Guardian view on Labour’s rebellion: Starmer faces a crisis of legitimacy | Editorial

After disastrous elections, Labour MPs voice public doubts over whether the prime minister can politically survive at all The clock is ticking on Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership of the Labour party.

Some colleagues of the north London MP are even bl
