UK allies ‘stressed’ about Starmer’s future as he returns to world stage at G7  – POLITICO

LONDON — Keir Starmer will seek out his comfort zone as he arrives in the French Alps for his latest foray on the world stage — but allies are already exchanging nervous glances as they ask how much longer he’ll be in the job. 

The British PM sets out for France in the wake of a devastating double resignation by his defense secretary, John Healey, and armed forces minister, Al Carns, that has sharpened the sense that Starmer’s days are numbered.

He was already facing an active threat to his position as leader of the Labour Party and as prime minister. He has lost the confidence of at least 100 of his own MPs, and Andy Burnham — the Greater Manchester mayor who is seeking to return to Westminster — has confirmed he will bid for the top job if he wins a Thursday by-election.
