Sir Keir Starmer's Labour MPs are already debating the hitherto unimaginable possibility of firing the prime minister following a dismal start to his premiership, according to sources. Sir Keir Starmer's first few months in the prime minister's office have been extremely turbulent, with his administration facing major obstacles both at home and abroad.Sir Keir's perceived lack of decisiveness and direction, especially when it comes to tackling the cost-of-living crisis, has drawn criticism.Additionally, he has been under fire for lowering the threshold at which farmers must begin paying inheritance tax, means-testing the winter heating allowance for pensioners, and, most recently, refusing to spend £10 billion to compensate Waspi women who were impacted by changes to government regulations that went into effect in 2015.So seriously are some Labour heavyweights taking the situation that they are even considering the possibility of ditching Sir Keir completely, less than six months on from a landslide election victory which saw the party win a record 411 seats, claimed Mail on Sunday columnist Dan Hodges.He quoted one Cabinet minister as saying: "There are two big events coming up next year.

"In May, the local elections. And then, soon after, we'll have the first anniversary of our victory."At that moment, people will look back, reflect and ask themselves, 'What have we done with our first year?'

Asked for the answer, they said: "Oh God! Time is already running out to change things!"A second minister suggested Sir Keir himself may have to carry the can, explaining: "In the beginning, everyone was pointing at Sue Gray, Starmer's former chief of staff, who was sacked in October, and saying No 10 was completely dysfunctional."But now it's functioning OK. Keir's got good people around him. So if you've got a good squad and the team keeps getting thumped 5-0, what do you do? You have no choice but to point the finger at the manager."Meanwhile a Labour MP appeared to set out the possible alternatives, saying: "If you look around the Cabinet, Wes Streeting is more articulate and ambitious. Yvette Cooper is more focused on detail and delivery.

"Rachel Reeves understands the party better. Bridget Phillipson has a better policy vision. Pat McFadden is a better political manager. Angela Rayner connects more with our key voters. So what box does Keir actually tick?
