Prime Minister Keir Starmer told his Cabinet this week that 2026 would be the year Britain’s fortunes turn around and the year Labour gains the upper hand. For his skeptical members of parliament, the question is whether they oust him.

The discontent stems from flat-lining economic growth and the high cost of living, a failure to address public concerns about immigration and a series of political scandals and crises that have echoed the chaos of the government’s Tory predecessors.
