UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is navigating choppy political waters, just over a year into his landslide victory. Members of his own party are questioning his leadership, with some considering a split amid discontent and the rise of Nigel Farage's Reform UK.
As Labour's annual conference begins in Liverpool, the focus is on Starmer's vision for a new political era. A significant rival is brewing in Manchester's ambitious mayor, Andy Burnham, while critics point to economic challenges and insufficient party engagement under Starmer's management.
Facing pressure over immigration and internal revolt, Starmer seeks to formulate a compelling narrative to unify his party and stave off Reform's anti-establishment message. With the looming prospect of further political strife, the Labour leader's ability to keep his government steady is under intense scrutiny.
