Starmer is not setting out timetable for his departure, says David Lammy
Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary David Lammy has stated that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has no timetable for departing Downing Street, dismissing recent Labour leadership speculation as a 'spectacular own goal' and urging party unity ahead of the upcoming Makerfield byelection. Lammy added that Andy Burnham would be a strong addition to parliament, confirmed he would campaign for Burnham in the byelection, and reaffirmed the government's red lines against rejoining the EU's customs union, single market, or full membership, distancing himself from former Health Secretary Wes Streeting's comments about the UK rejoining the EU.
