The UK’s controversial Energy Secretary appears to be safe for now, sadly. In fact, if there were a leadership election today, Labour members would probably back him over the embattled Prime Minister.

Unless something dramatic happens (and with these two, it could), Starmer is sticking with them for now.

Miliband has been partly blamed for the success of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK at last week’s elections, thanks to the reckless pace of his net zero push.

Yet Starmer won’t axe him. Grassroots activists adore Miliband. They see him as a man of principle and would be furious if he were ousted.

They’re not so keen on Rachel Reeves, but she’s politically close to Starmer and, worryingly, he's keen to keep her in post for the full five-year term.

The minister he’s rumoured to be moving on isn’t as well known as Miliband and Reeves but as I’ve written before, she’s every bit as damaging.

Possibly more so, in the long run.

Most people haven’t paid much attention to Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, but they should.

She’s declared war on what may be the only truly successful policy the Tories delivered during their 14 years in power: education reform.

It actually began under John Major in the 1990s and was continued by Tony Blair’s New Labour government.

Back in 2009, 15-year-olds in England ranked 27th in the world for maths, according to PISA rankings. Today, they’re 11th.
