Labour together? Who is hastening the PM’s downfall

Some of the country’s biggest investment managers have sent a stark signal to Labour MPs.

They worry that any attempt to oust Sir Keir Starmer as prime minister could rattle the markets, weaken the pound and risk a Truss-style shock.

As Labour Together, the group that campaigned for Starmer’s leadership, tests the waters for potential successors, Sam and Anne unpack what’s happening inside the party.

In Downing Street, Starmer hosts a high-stakes gathering with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Emmanuel Macron and Friedrich Merz, as Donald Trump publicly pressures Ukraine to accept his peace terms. Sam and Anne look at what could be unfolding behind closed doors.

Plus, in Clacton, Nigel Farage has been referred to police over his electoral expenditure. Reform UK denies the claims.

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.
