"A deputy leadership election, inconceivable 48 hours ago, is the last thing the prime minister needs right now. The simple fact is that at this stage the prime minister is unpopular: in the country, yes, but also among Labour MPs (see the welfare rebellion), and among some party members too.
A contest to select a new deputy leader would become a vehicle for the MPs and members who are most cheesed off with Starmer to vent."BBC................
