POLL: Who would win a Labour leadership contest if Keir Starmer goes?

Sir Keir Starmer is on the brink as his rivals for the top job prepare to strike – with Angela Rayner issuing an extraordinary statement eviscerating his record in office.

She also unveiled her hard-Left prospectus for power and signalled an alliance with Andy Burnham by demanding that he be allowed to come back to Westminster.

Allies of Health Secretary Wes Streeting said he was ‘ready to go’ with a leadership bid should Sir Keir be brought down as Prime Minister over the coming hours.

They believe the Labour rebellion over last week’s local elections disaster will soon engulf the PM and trigger a contest in which Ed Miliband could also decide to run.

Now, in the wake of Labour’s local elections drubbing last week, it’s time to have your say in the Daily Mail’s latest poll on who you think would win a leadership contest:

In the last poll, Mail readers were asked: ‘Should Starmer resign after Labour’s heavy local election losses?’ Out of about 11,000 votes, 85 per cent of you said ‘yes’ and 15 per cent said ‘no’.
