How to get rid of Keir Starmer?

Are some Labour skeletons about to come crashing out of the closet?

Keir Starmer needs state visit week to go perfectly but it’s already had a rocky start with the resignation of one of his most trusted aides. Paul Ovenden quit after ‘inappropriate’ messages he sent about Diane Abbott in 2017 resurfaced. 

Sam and Anne ponder if there are more messages which are about to cause trouble for other senior Labour staffers.

Also — the first ‘one in, one out’ migrant flights were cancelled after legal challenges. And the week hasn’t started brightly for the Tories either —as they lose one of their biggest thinkers, Danny Kruger, to Reform. 

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
