Summary
Labour peer and former cabinet minister Charlie Falconer has stated that Prime Minister Keir Starmer has "absolutely no authority" and could have "at most weeks to go" as leader, due to widespread assumptions that Andy Burnham will challenge for and likely win the Labour leadership. Falconer argued this leaves Starmer unable to effectively control his cabinet, command the Commons, or deal with allies and opponents.
