UK's PM Keir Starmer under pressure after budget rewrite
On the eve of a visit to London by U.S. President Donald Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer abruptly summoned Labour lawmakers to a meeting to try to reassert his authority over his increasingly fractious party. It was a rare acknowledgement that decisions taken by his Downing Street office had widened a rift with Labour members of parliament. Eight weeks later, those rifts have burst into the open after a briefing to selected media outlets by unnamed allies of Starmer who said the prime minister would fight any leadership challenge - although none had yet materialised. Analysis by FRANCE 24 international affairs editor Rochelle Ferguson Bouyahi.
