概要
Keir Starmer kicked off a tumultuous week dodging a leadership crisis sparked by the Jeffrey Epstein files scandal, according to BBC News and WSLS reports. Fallout from appointing Lord Matthew Doyle—a peer with past ties to a child image offender convicted in 2017—drew fierce grilling at Prime Ministers Questions on February 12, as Times News detailed, with Gordon Brown urging police probes into Prince Andrew's Epstein links. Starmer suspended Doyles Labour whip amid uproar, while chief of staff Morgan McSweeney resigned Sunday over the peerage call, per BBC analysis, and communications director Tim Allan quit soon after. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband told BBC that MPs peered over the precipice of chaos but rallied behind Keir, averting revolt despite Scottish Labour boss Anas Sarwars resignation demand. Starmer vowed in a southern England community center speech, per WSLS, I will never walk away from the mandate I was given.
By midweek, Starmer pivoted to global swagger at the Munich Security Conference on February 14, Sky News and the UK government transcript confirm. He announced deploying the HMS Prince of Wales carrier strike group to the North Atlantic and High North alongside US, Canada, and NATO allies—a muscular riposte to Russias Arctic buildup, Fox News highlighted, warning Moscow rearmament could accelerate post-Ukraine. There, he met European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, pledging advances on a UK-EU food deal, emissions trading, and youth mobility ahead of their summit, per gov.uk. He touted 500 million pounds more for Ukrainian air defenses and NATO spending hikes to five percent.
Pundits buzz: The Independent hailed his European embrace as prescient amid Trump tariff talks and Putin threats, while The Telegraph cheekily noted his red line blocking Chinese ironing board imports despite embassy greenlights. Domestically, polls show Labour slipping with Reform rising, BBC warned, eyeing May elections. Starmer insists his party is united, stronger than weeks start—though whispers of Angela Rayner and Wes Streeting plotting linger. For now, the PM fights on, blending bunker grit with podium punch.
