‘Borrowed time’: pressure builds on Starmer ahead of by-election

Sky News contributor Sophie Elsworth says UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is on “borrowed time” ahead of a looming by-election that could end his leadership. “The by-election here in the UK, which is predicted to be on June 18, will be held, and he’s working out his exit strategy before that,” Ms Elsworth told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. If Andrew Burnham, the Manchester mayor, wins that by-election, which is a 50/50 chance, Sir Keir Starmer probably is going to be tossed out.
