It was bad news for Sir Keir Starmer, as GB News anchor Patrick Christys said it is now a question of “when, not if” he is replaced in his role as Labour leader and prime minister. In a bombshell breaking news announcement live on the show, Patrick announced: “Well, it’s finally happened. Today, a Labour MP went on national television and openly called for Sir Keir Starmer to go.”

He was referring to Labour MP Clive Lewis, who said he would give up his seat to allow Andy Burnham to challenge Starmer for Labour leadership. He told the BBC’s Politics Live: “If I’m going to sit here and say, ‘Country before party, party before personal ambition’, then I have to say [I would give up my seat for Andy Burnham].”

Christys explained on GB News: “It’s going to take about 80 Labour MPs to call for Sir Keir Starmer to go, in order to trigger a leadership contest. Today, they say they’ve hit that number. The only problem for them, of course, is they can’t decide on who should actually replace him. 

“Today it was reported that Lisa Nandy, Lucy Powell and Louise Haigh are all being touted. Bit of a rogues gallery, that, isn’t it?”

Wes Streeting has also been put forward as a potential replacement.

Christys went on to say: “Starmer himself is about as toxic as Novichok. 72% of the public view him unfavourably. He is the least popular prime minister since records began. Only a third of actual Labour voters think he should lead them into the next election. The problem is, he just doesn’t stand for anything.

“He’s never here, is he, Sir Keir Starmer. He’s on course for 25 foreign trips this year. I don’t think there’s ever been a worse prime minister at a worse time for Britain. 

“The Budget is this time next week – it is now when, not if, Sir Keir Starmer is sent packing. The good news for him, of course, is he can just move back in to Lord Alli’s penthouse when that happens,” he quipped.
