He’s already lost his deputy Angela Rayner, the questions are mounting over Peter Mandelson’s disastrous appointment, and now one of Keir Starmer’s top aides Paul Ovenden has been forced to quit after an ITV News exclusive revealed his own shocking private messages.
So how will the PM navigate the deepening leadership crisis without one of his key strategists?
In Talking Politics, Tom Bradby and Robert Peston are joined by our Political Correspondent Shehab Khan, who exposed the PM’s aide’s sickening messages about Diane Abbott, to assess the fallout from the story.
Tom and Robert then discuss the looming threat to Starmer’s position as he prepares to host Donald Trump’s state visit and the emboldening of the far-right movement in the UK and US in the wake of the assassination of pro-Trump activist Charlie Kirk.
