He has lost all authority and respect’ – Starmer enters the end game

Everyone is depressed and nothing’s getting done, say Labour insiders as Sir Keir clings on in No 10 Daily Telegraph 24 April 2026 If you stood anywhere inside the Palace of Westminster and chucked a paper dart right now, you could be pretty sure you would hit someone discussing one of three questions: will Sir Keir Starmer go, when will he go, and who will replace him? It is self-evident that if people are talking about the Prime Minister’s future, they are not discussing how this Government is going to make the country better, and the problem for Britain is that the same is true in No 10. Instead of finding solutions to the cost-of-living crisis, energy prices, illegal immigration or defence spending, the collective brainpower of Downing Street is preoccupied with fighting one crisis after another just to keep Sir Keir in a job. Forget having a five-year plan. Whitehall sources say there isn’t even a five-day plan right now, as each day’s main target is simply surviving unt...

Starmer is collapsing and bringing a broken political system down with him

The age of the Centrist Dad is over. Now the Right must gear up for a real battle of ideas with the extremist Left Daily Telegraph 22/04/26 Goodbye, Centrist Dads: you shall never be forgiven for ruining our country, splintering our society, trashing our economy and eviscerating our Armed Forces. Adios, Blairites, technocrat-kings and aficionados of the Third Way: you claimed to be driven by a commitment to social mobility and justice, but you turned Britain into a land of indolence and welfarism, rationing and penury, ignorance and alienation, sectarianism and rising anti-Semitism. It is not just Sir Keir Starmer, our worst-ever Prime Minister, who is finished, a spent force waiting to be ejected from the office he disgraces. The entire managerialist ancien régime that spawned his idiocracy will also be swept away, terminating a catastrophic 30-year experiment in centre-Leftist, “expert-led” rule. Every election from now on, starting with May 7, will be a disaster for the “extrem...

Exclusive: Hermer pursued British troops with war crime lies

Attorney General dismissed warnings that Iraqi claims of murder were false as he worked on case against soldiers Daily Telegraph 22/04/26 Lord Hermer pursued a notorious “witch hunt” against British troops despite being warned that the allegations were lies, The Telegraph can disclose. An investigation by this newspaper can reveal the Attorney General’s leading role in the Al-Sweady scandal, which left decorated war heroes facing false accusations of murder and torture for more than a decade. Emails and legal documents show that Sir Keir Starmer’s closest Cabinet ally acted as lead counsel in civil claims against the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and pressed for lucrative compensation despite mounting evidence that his eight Iraqi clients were “on the make”. The Attorney General later insisted that it made no difference whether his clients were “a saint or a member of al-Qaeda” while suing British troops under human rights laws. One leading lawyer has now called for Lord Hermer to...

‘Just f---ing approve’ Mandelson, No 10 told Foreign Office

Former top civil servant tells MPs there was ‘atmosphere of constant chasing’ for peer’s vetting clearance Daily Telegraph 21/04/26 Sir Olly Robbins has accused Downing Street of putting the Foreign Office under “constant pressure” to clear Lord Mandelson’s vetting to become US ambassador. The former Foreign Office chief claimed No 10 took a “dismissive approach” to the security checks, revealing that officials had even queried whether they were needed at all. In testimony to MPs, Sir Olly, who was sacked last week for failing to tell Sir Keir Starmer that Lord Mandelson had failed Developed Vetting (DV), argued that the peer’s appointment as ambassador to the US was being treated as a fait accompli by the time he arrived at the department in January last year. His intervention will heap further pressure on the Prime Minister, who on Monday defended his handling of the scandal by telling Parliament that Sir Olly had taken a “deliberate decision” not to tell him of the security c...

The attack on Boris Johnson that undermines Starmer’s defence

Prime Minister’s critics see parallels with his position over Lord Mandelson’s vetting to that during ‘partygate’ scandal Daily Telegraph 20/04/26 Sir Keir Starmer once condemned Boris Johnson for “taking the British public for fools” by claiming he did not know what was going on in Downing Street during the “partygate” scandal. While he was leader of the opposition, the Labour leader suggested that the former prime minister was “trashing the ministerial code” by misleading Parliament. Standing at the Dispatch Box in 2022, he rejected Mr Johnson’s claim that he did not know that civil servants were partying in Downing Street during lockdown. The Prime Minister’s critics have seized on footage of him criticising Mr Johnson in one of their exchanges during Prime Minister’s Questions, claiming there are parallels with Sir Keir’s position over the Mandelson vetting scandal. Sir Keir said at the time: “Look, there are only two possible explanations. Either he’s trashing the ministeria...

Britain can’t afford Starmer’s weakness

Even the Prime Minister cannot claim to be ignorant of the sorry state of our Armed Forces Daily Telegraph 18/04/26 Even before No 10 was thrown into chaos by the latest developments in the Mandelson saga, Sir Keir Starmer was unable to make up his mind on one of the most important dilemmas of the age. His spokesman was asked last week for the Government’s view on whether welfare should be cut to increase spending on defence. “It’s not a zero-sum game when it comes to defence and welfare and you have [the Prime Minister’s] words on that,” he said. With respect to the Prime Minister, when the economy is barely growing, defence versus welfare clearly does amount to a zero-sum game. Perhaps Sir Keir needs to be reminded of some basic facts. There is not an unlimited supply of tax revenue to pay for everything the country wants or needs. The Treasury is heavily constrained in how much it can borrow, in part because it has already taken on so much debt and the UK is already spending ...

All the times Starmer called for resignations over ministerial code breaches

As Prime Minister refuses to quit over Mandelson, here are the occasions he has demanded others step down Daily Telegraph 17/04/26 Sir Keir Starmer has repeatedly called for ministers to resign for breaching the ministerial code. Unfortunately for the Prime Minister, he now stands accused of committing the same offence. The Prime Minister has been accused of misleading Parliament after it emerged Lord Mandelson failed security vetting before his appointment as Britain’s ambassador to the US, despite Sir Keir telling MPs “full due process” was followed. On Thursday night, Downing Street blamed “officials” in the Foreign Office for the decision to override recommendations by the security services and said Sir Keir only became aware of the decision on Tuesday night. Sir Olly Robbins, the Foreign Office permanent under-secretary, was fired over the vetting process. However, this may fail to absolve the embattled Prime Minister. The ministerial code states that “it is of paramount im...
