  • Labour MPs are publicly warning that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is at risk of being ousted following a turbulent first year in office.
  • Richard Burgon said that Sir Keir must "change course immediately" or face removal by May, particularly if local election results are poor.
  • Mr Burgon also warned of a potential "far-right extremist government" and said the prime minister has a duty to prevent that by delivering real change.
