More than half of Labour members don't want Starmer to lead party into next election - poll
More than half of Labour members do not want Sir Keir Starmer to fight the next general election as party leader, a new poll has revealed.
The Survation survey for LabourList, shared with Sky News' Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips, showed 53% of the party membership want a new leader by the time of the next election, while only 31% want Sir Keir to remain in post until then. The findings lay bare the scale of the challenge facing the prime minister as he heads to Liverpool for the Labour Party conference.
He arrives at the gathering just days after a separate poll showed Reform leader Nigel Farage had a clear path to Number 10, and after Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham appeared to set out his own bid for the Labour leadership in a series of interviews in which he claimed Labour MPs had privately urged him to return to Westminster. In a direct criticism of Sir Keir, Mr Burnham - who previously ran for the Labour leadership in 2010 and 2015 - said Number 10 had created a "climate of fear" among MPs and created "alienation and demoralisation" within the party.
