British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing growing pressure from within his own Labour Party amid reports of internal tensions and speculation about a possible leadership challenge. Media outlets say ministers are "on manoeuvres," quietly testing support in case of a contest. Health Secretary Wes Streeting has denied reports linking him to a leadership bid, insisting he supports the Prime Minister. The tensions come ahead of the November 26 Budget, with the government expected to raise taxes to fill a fiscal gap of over $39 billion. Labour's poll numbers have fallen below 20%, while Nigel Farage’s Reform UK is now above 30%.
