Keir Starmer faced tough questions in Parliament as an MP directly challenged him, asking if he was the real problem behind his government’s struggles. For years, Labour MPs have blamed the Conservative Party whenever they failed to win the public’s trust. But now, after Labour’s big election victory, cracks are starting to show within Starmer’s government.
Normally, the first few months of a new government are smooth, as people expect fresh leadership to bring stability. But under Starmer, things have already started falling apart. He sacked his Chief of Staff, one of his top advisors. His City Minister and Transport Secretary resigned, raising concerns about leadership troubles. Reports suggest that Number 10 (the Prime Minister’s office) has been leaking negative information about key ministers, including the Pensions Secretary, Home Secretary, and Education Secretary.
This instability led an MP to confront Starmer during a heated debate in Parliament. The MP asked:
“Is it not time that the Prime Minister accepts that the root cause of the problems in this government is him, not others?”
Starmer tried to brush off the criticism by reminding everyone of Labour’s big win in the recent election. He responded:
“We just won a landslide victory, we have a huge majority, and we are getting on with the job, Mr. Speaker.”
However, his answer did not convince many people. Some believe he is dodging responsibility for the problems in his government. Labour promised to bring change, but just months into power, they are already dealing with resignations, political infighting, and uncertainty.
Some say this looks a lot like the instability the Conservatives faced when they kept changing ministers year after year. Labour supporters had hoped for a steady and reliable government, but instead, they are seeing early signs of trouble.
