Two senior Labour MPs have suggested the prime minister may have to go within months if the government continues to perform poorly.
Both warned that, if Labour performs badly in next May's elections across Wales, Scotland and London, it could mark the end of his time in Downing Street.
Coates added: "The level of unhappiness and despair in parts of the Labour Party is so striking that right now, on the first anniversary, I am hearing from ministers in government that Starmer might have to go in months."
Reform UK is surging in the polls in Wales, while Labour faces a threat from left-wing parties such as the Greens in London.

PM Farage?!?
The Maoists have something like a 150 seat majority right now. That means that the Labour Party *will* rule Britain until *at least* July 2029. It’s just a question of who they chose as their leader.
Okay, bring on another one!
PM Khan?!?
It’s not the PM per se, it’s Labour’s piss poor policies. Replacing the PM is like rearranging the chairs on the Titanic.
Angela Rayner? Would Rachel Reeves back her?
England may want to consider installing a Royal Revolving Door in front of 10 Downing Street in London.
They are changing national leaders nearly as fast as the Italians were doing some 15 years ago.
All office furniture acquired on a month to month leasing agreement.
Switch out the face, change the voice, and just reboot the Starmerbot. Nobody will notice or care.
Why don’t the King banish the lot of them buggers and give it a new go completely? Straight away!
She’s not bad looking...in a working class Leeds kind of way. But I’ll bet that a microbiologist would have nightmares after analyzing a swab taken from her private areas.
Because Labour during the Blair days got rid of that power, IIRC.
I seriously doubt the Labour supermajority would vote for this to occur especially given the current political climate against them. And the King is obviously unlikely to step in and declare it dissolved and call for new elections...the last time that was done was in 1975 in Australia - things would have to be so chaotic that the move would actually have popular support for the monarch to dare do that.
He’s not an MP, so probably not.
In Australia in 1975 the Labor government could not pass a supply bill. They were staying in office by manipulating the rules despite having effectively lost the confidence of the House of Representatives. It was not capable of governing the country.
In the UK in 2025, the Labour government has a massive majority and the confidence of the House of Commons. It can pass supply bills. It is capable of governing the country, despite being unpopular.
