Labour At War As Keir Starmer Faces Calls To Quit After By-Election Humiliation

Starmer visited the campaign on Monday.

Keir Starmer is facing calls to quit as prime minister as Labour descends into civil war in the wake of the party’s humiliating defeat in the Gorton and Denton by-election.

In a seismic result, Labour were beaten into third place by the Greens and Reform UK as the party’s support plummeted from the last general election barely 18 months ago.

Former deputy prime minister Angela Rayner said the result “must be a wake up call” for the party as she called on Starmer to “be braver”.
