Sir Keir Starmer can survive a leadership challenge, says Lord Hermer

Attorney General Lord Hermer said Sir Keir Starmer can survive a leadership challenge, adding that he has always been underestimated. Labour lost control of the Welsh Senedd and nearly 1,500 councillors in England in recent elections, leading to resignations including former Health Secretary Wes Streeting. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, seen as the frontrunner in any future leadership contest, is standing in the Makerfield by-election. Lord Hermer declined to speculate on Burnham's ambitions.
