BACKSTABBING IN NUMBER 10: 120 Labour MPs Revolt as Dithering PM Caves to the Mob.
Think Labour has a massive mandate? Think again.
Keir Starmer might boast a huge majority in Parliament, but behind closed doors, he has completely lost control of his own party.
Back in the summer, 120 of his own MPs threatened a brutal rebellion over £5 billion in welfare cuts, forcing the PM into a humiliating U-turn. Now, instead of making tough choices, his latest budget is throwing an extra £12 billion a year at the welfare state.
And now, the knives are truly out.
Just this week, late-night briefings started flying out of Number 10, trying to take down Starmer’s rivals.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting had to go on live television to furiously DENY rumors that he is plotting a leadership challenge to oust Starmer. Streeting slammed the rumors as a “self-defeating” attack by people watching too much reality TV.
Meanwhile, polls show an incredible 72% of Britons now view Keir Starmer unfavorably. With the May local elections looming, Labour is terrified of being wiped out by Plaid Cymru in Wales and the SNP in Scotland.
While Labour panics, the opposition has to face the grim reality. Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf had to admit the country is simply too broke to scrap the two-child benefit cap, pointing to the severe “economic hardship” gripping Britain.
Top Conservatives like Kemi Badenoch are screaming from the rooftops that we need to stop splashing cash on welfare and start investing properly in our armed forces.
Starmer is utterly paralyzed, too afraid of his own shadow to lead.
