Summary
Asked twice in a Bloomberg TV interview in Singapore on Tuesday, London Mayor Sadiq Khan refused to say whether Keir Starmer should remain prime minister until the next general election.
Khan’s silence marked a shift in tone after he had previously criticized efforts to push Starmer out, signaling more guarded support for the Labour leader.
The comments add to pressure around Starmer’s leadership by showing hesitation from one of Labour’s most prominent elected figures.
