Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned his governing Labour Party that removing him in 2026 would plunge Britain into “utter chaos” and open the door to a far-right government.

The turmoil wrought by the constant chopping and changing of personnel under the previous Conservative administration is “amongst the reasons that the Tories were booted out so effectively at the last election,” Starmer told the BBC in an interview broadcast on Sunday.
