Keir Starmer has said he knows he has to “turn things around” after a series of crises culminating in the resignation of John Healey, the defence secretary, but warned that any successor would face the same difficult decisions.
In an interview with the BBC after Healey’s departure in a row over defence spending, Starmer promised again to fight any leadership challenge from Andy Burnham or others, saying: “I’m not going to go away.”
He also suggested said that if Burnham did replace him in No 10, there would be a near-identical set of pressures and tough decisions for him given the state of international conflict and the resulting economic impacts.
Starmer said: “I would just gently say this: that whoever is prime minister is going to face the same prevailing winds as I am facing. None of that is going to change.”
In a scathing resignation letter on Thursday, Healey accused Starmer of putting the country’s security at risk and being unable to stand up to his chancellor, Rachel Reeves, and make faster progress in the coming defence investment plan (Dip) towards spending at least 3.5% of GDP on defence by 2035.
Al Carns, the armed forces minister, also quit. Speaking to the BBC on Friday morning, Carns accused the government of not spending enough money on the military and spending on the wrong weapons.
With Burnham increasingly expected to win next Thursday’s Makerfield byelection and return to Westminster, many Labour MPs see a leadership challenge as imminent. It could also involve Wes Streeting, the former health secretary, who quit Starmer’s government last month in the wake of terrible election results for Labour.

Oh yes you are. You’re still in the phase where you get to choose in what shape you leave. Choose wisely.
How did this fool ever manage to get into office, let alone a position of leadership.
Tyrants never do, do they?
dragged by his ankles
kicking and screaming
would be my guess
Lefties abuse any power they get, and hold onto it any way they can.
This ass clown belongs in the waste can of history
Not saying it will happen, but what if a mob of islamists and people who have “immigrated” to England decided to storm #10 Downing Street and and beheaded Starmer?
Again, not saying it would happen, but knowing these people, I certainly wouldn’t put it past them.
Why would they behead an ally?
No lamposts in the UK?
Similar to Obummer in the US, Starmer wants as much time as he can get to complete the destruction of the UK. He arguably has a majority of the destruction done already.
It’s all about you, Kweer.
It’s all about you.
Who do I hate more Starmer or the Iranian Leadership?
Hate Whitney and pander to Islam.
