If Starmer goes, who's next?
May 3, 2026
Sir Keir Starmer's premiership has been full of ups, downs, and u-turns so far, but with pressure building on him, and a potentially disastrous local election coming up, many people are asking whether he'll be in the job when the next general election rolls around. For some dissenting voices, there's a very clear answer that they don't want to see leading the party after Starmer, and that's Angela Rayner. Other names in the hat could include Health Secretary Wes Streeting, Environment Secretary Ed Miliband, and Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham, but each have their own pitfalls. Discussing the topic with Vanessa Feltz is chief political commentator for the Independent, John Rentouil.
