Nigel Farage demands early general election if Keir Starmer is removed as PM

British Reform leader Nigel Farage has demanded a snap general election if Sir Keir Starmer is ousted as prime minister.

Sir Keir, who is expected to face a leadership challenge from former Health Secretary Wes Streeting, could soon clash with Andy Burnham as the Mayor of Greater Manchester plots his return to Westminster in the Makerfield election campaign.

However, Mr Farage warned that the public was increasingly tired of seeing ruling parties change their leaders without a vote.

Asked whether a snap election should be held if Labor changes leaders, the Clacton MP told the Telegraph: “Yes. The public are fed up with Prime Ministers constantly changing.”

Nearly 100 Labor MPs have called on Sir Keir to set his timetable for leaving Downing Street.

However, the possibility of Sir Keir leaving makes it increasingly likely that the UK will have its seventh prime minister in just over a decade.

David Cameron’s six years in power between 2010 and 2016 were followed by terms of just over three years for Theresa May and Boris Johnson, 49 days for Liz Truss and 20 months for Rishi Sunak.

An upcoming departure would also make Sir Keir the longest-serving Labor prime minister.

The ex-lawyer, who only entered the House of Commons in 2015, has spent just 690 days in Downing Street since the 2024 general election.

Meanwhile, Gordon Brown was Prime Minister for 1,048 days, with James Callaghan’s censure defeat ensuring his term lasted 1,129 days.

However, there is no obligation to hold general elections in the event of a change of Prime Minister.

Mr Brown refused to call an early poll after succeeding Sir Tony Blair in 2007, sparking cries that the former chancellor had “bottled” him.

Mr Farage’s call for a snap general election came shortly after a Labor veteran issued a similar warning to Sir Keir’s potential rivals.

Baroness Harman, who is Sir Keir’s new adviser on women and girls, said: “There is a scenario where the new leader – call him Andy Burnham, for example – actually thinks ‘I need a new mandate’.

“And Farage will say: ‘Well, yes, the country wants a new prime minister but they want me – no one voted for him, he’s a usurper.’

“And it could be that he [Burnham] believes he needs to get his own mandate rather than just managing the implementation of Keir Starmer’s mandate.

“And, if there was a big rise in the polls, he might think he should go to a general election and not do what Gordon Brown did… So we might find ourselves not only with a new prime minister, but also, one way or another, headed into a new general election.

Conservative insiders have also begun preparing for a snap general election.

“The fear is that it will catch us completely off guard,” a Conservative source told the Daily Mail. “We are not ready.”

An opinion poll by More in Common found support for Reform UK stands at 30 per cent, with Labor trailing far behind on just 20 per cent.

Kemi Badenoch’s Conservatives took just 19 per cent of the vote in the More in Common poll, with the Green Party on 13 per cent and the Liberal Democrats on 12 per cent.

However, the same pollster recently published research suggesting Mr Burnham could reverse Labour’s electoral fortunes.

Labor would benefit from an eight-point increase with Mr Burnham as party leader, leading to a two-point drop in support for Reform UK.

Such a scenario could result in a hung Parliament, raising the possibility of a progressive coalition to keep the reformed UK out of power.
