A group of former advisers who worked for Starmer and Jeremy Corbyn now believe the Labour leader should be toppled because his stance on the welfare policy is part of a wider conservatism that will switch off voters.
“We wouldn’t give these people the time of day. It’s absolutely bonkers because you could not find someone more loyal to Keir than Ed. It’s completely nuts,” a source close to Miliband said. Sir Keir’s allies were also sanguine about the idea of a leadership challenge, as party rules require 20 per cent of the Parliamentary party – 39 MPs – to launch any such coup attempt.on Monday night, when deputy leader Angela Rayner faced calls from backbenchers to rethink the welfare policy.
