Sir Keir Starmer is facing mounting pressure from within the Labour party over his handling of the sacking of the US ambassador Peter Mandelson.
Labour MPs are expressing public and private frustration with the prime minister's leadership, as he prepares to welcome US President Donald Trump on a state visit this week.
Lord Mandelson was sacked last week after a cache of emails reported by Bloomberg showed supportive messages he sent after convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to sex offences.
Labour backbencher Richard Burgon told Radio 4's Today programme Sir Keir would be "gone" if May's elections in Scotland, Wales and parts of England go badly for Labour.
The scandal, coming so soon after Angela Rayner's resignation as deputy prime minister, has encouraged some Labour MPs to become more vocal about their frustrations with the prime minister's judgement and the wider Downing Street operation.
Burgon is a longstanding left-wing critic of Starmer's leadership but his comments nevertheless underline the scale of discontent within Labour.
Burgon said: "I think it's inevitable that if May's elections go as people predict and the opinion polls predict, then I think Starmer will be gone at that time.
"In terms of where we are now, it feels like we're years and years into an unpopular government rather than a year into a government that's just got rid of the Conservatives.
"We're losing votes to the left, we're going to be losing seats to the right."

The guardian reported “110k” at our London rally today.
Yet, literally had their own helicopter showing the millions of patriots ๐คก
Legacy media proving again they’ll just lie to your face for their own agenda.
This is why nobody trusts them.
We are the media now.

Awesome video at the link!
“Lord Mandelson was sacked last week after a cache of emails reported by Bloomberg showed supportive messages he sent after convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to sex offences.”
Yet Starmer turns a blind eye to the Muslim rape gangs that gang rape thousands of young white British pre teen girls while the police and authorities stand by for fear of being called “Islamophobic”.
Brutal gang rapes like these disclosed in these court transcripts. Scroll down to details 50-54 for a small sample of the details of the rapes that happened in dozens of British cities.
