![The prime minister's supporters are telling Labour MPs they should be careful
what they wish for. They argue a leadership contest would plunge the party into the chaos associated with the final years of the Conservative Party's stint in office which came to an end last year, and install a leader who does not have their own
mandate from the country. They are trying to convince their colleagues that a contest could destabilise the international markets too, and would jeopardise the good relationship the
prime minister has established with President Trump. But others, including some ministers, fret about what they perceive to be the
desperate position the government is in. "It's terrible. He [Starmer] is hated out there. It is worse than it got under
Corbyn. I don't see how this is sustainable until May," one minister said. Opinion polls suggest Sir Keir is deeply unpopular, perhaps even the most
unpopular British prime minister in the history of modern opinion polling. Polls also suggest the Labour Party has commanded the support of no more
than a fifth of the electorate in recent months.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ubpa7xyv7bwtkm5jnru3dksl/bafkreiamyncczhit7si4kknk7nxby56fdobxrfrb4ojycl2aog437lnkpa)
