Sir Keir Starmer told MPs “half of Rishi Sunak’s cabinet are lining up to replace him, amid growing reports of a Conservative leadership challenge.

Sir Keir said it is no surprise the prime minister ruled out a spring general election while “half his cabinet are lining up to replace him”, during Prime Minister’s Questions today (20 March).

Sir Keir added: “If they can’t bring themselves to stop the endless games and gimmicks, stop putting themselves before country, they should pack up, go home, and waste somebody else’s time.”
