For the second day in a row, every paper leads on the future of Sir Keir Starmer’s premiership. “Starmer throws down gauntlet to rivals” says the Financial Times, reporting the prime minister was still “clinging to power” on Tuesday evening, after he challenged his rivals to mount a leadership bid on a day of ministerial resignations. The paper adds that Sir Keir’s supporters believe he has headed off a challenge from Health Secretary Wes Streeting who, it says, has not gained the support of the 81 MPs needed to launch a rival bid.
