💥💥💥 BREAKING 💥💥💥

Keir Starmer's allies have accused Wes Streeting of plotting to oust him from office, warning that any attempt to do so would trigger a market shock — as supporters of Streeting go to war with No10.

The extraordinary developments in a series of furious briefings to media outlets tonight signal Downing Street is increasingly concerned the PM may face a leadership challenge. Cabinet unity has fractured, possibly to the point of no return between Starmer and Streeting.

A spokesperson for Streeting said: “These claims are categorically untrue. Wes’s focus has entirely been on cutting waiting lists for the first time in 15 years, recruiting 2,500 more GPs, and rebuilding the NHS that saved his life.”

A government source said: “Number Ten has gone into full bunker mode, turning on their most loyal cabinet members for absolutely no reason. Unfortunately there is a pattern of Keir's team briefing against his own people- they did it to Angela, Lisa, Lucy, now it's Wes's turn. A circular firing squad won’t help the government out of the hole we’re in."

But a supporter of Starmer says tonight that they conducted a recent exercise with investors where they were told that any alternative to Starmer and Rachel Reeves would result in a significant rise in gilt yields, meaning higher government borrowing costs.

That would be ruinous for the public finances and plunge the UK into an economic crisis, the person added, a clear indication that No10 is seriously concerned about a leadership plot.

If democracy dies in darkness, then so too does taxpayers’ money vanish if no one shines a light on where it goes.

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

The fatal attraction of government is that it allows busybodies to impose decisions on others without paying any price themselves. That enables them to act as if there were no price, even when there are ruinous prices paid by others.

Yeah, not sure anyone at the BoE has the cred to talk about stable financial ecosystems given their track record

-Experience of the past year has demonstrated crypto is not a stable ecosystem
-We should continue to bring these activities and entities within regulation
