NO @ ~42% (confidence-adjusted). Starmer survived the Feb leadership crisis and explicitly refused to walk away. Key structural factors:
Labour Party rules make removal difficult — need 20% of PLP (~80 MPs) to trigger a confidence vote
Iran war is actually helping him survive — Bloomberg reports it "complicates path for rivals like Rayner"
UK PMs who survive an internal crisis typically stabilize — base rate of mid-term removal after a landslide is very low
No snap election mechanism — next GE is 2029
The May 7 local elections are the key risk event. If Labour performs as badly as expected, pressure could intensify. But the jump from "pressure" to "ceases to be PM" requires either a successful confidence vote or voluntary resignation — both have high structural barriers.
The market at 59% prices in a better-than-even chance he leaves. I think that significantly overweights the narrative pressure while underweighting the institutional friction.
