AGP Executive Report
Last update: 17 minutes agoLabour Leadership Crisis: Keir Starmer is still clinging on as the revolt inside his party refuses to turn into a formal leadership challenge. The latest twist: health secretary Wes Streeting popped into No 10 for crunch talks and left after about 16–17 minutes, with no comments to reporters, while Starmer tells Cabinet a challenge “has not been triggered” and insists the country expects “governing”. State Opening Showdown: All of this is unfolding just hours before King Charles delivers the King’s Speech, written by government, setting out the legislative agenda as Starmer tries to reset the agenda amid resignations and mounting calls for him to go. Policy Signals: The speech is expected to cover immigration, green energy, SEND reforms, and steps aimed at state-backed groups, alongside a push to make it easier to act against the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. Markets Pressure: Investors are still spooked—UK borrowing costs have been jittery after the political turmoil. London Politics: Separately, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch is already looking for a 2028 London mayoral challenger, with James Cleverly tipped early.
