If Starmer has to go for this, and he doesn’t go himself, who takes his place?
A leadership challenge needs a minimum of 80 MPs to back them and I’m not seeing who and how at the minute.
A piece from an article in politico.eu below has similar sentiments…
Keir Starmer faces the lingering threat of a Labour leadership challenge this year — but many of his MP critics are not sure how to do it.
Challengers need 80 fellow MPs to back them in order to trigger a contest, but the exact process is “concerningly vague” and “muddy,” one Labour official said.
They added: “Everyone is fumbling around in the dark, hoping that they get enough momentum that it’s overwhelming and carries them over the line.”
A second Labour official said: “I would assume that 95 percent of MPs don’t actually understand how this works, hence there are widespread fantasies about being able to have a coronation.”
