Keir Starmer, leader of the UK's Labour Party, faces internal challenges as his advisors, particularly his chief aide, undertake efforts to purge the left wing of the party. This strategy, which has been quietly developed since the Corbyn years, aims to consolidate control but risks alienating a significant faction within Labour. The lack of boldness in Labour's approach under Starmer's leadership could have long-term repercussions, potentially undermining the party's unity and electoral prospects. Questions also arise about how Starmer's chief aide would use the No 10 machine, as noted by MichaelLCrick.
