LONDON — Keir Starmer has made a big play as he seeks to get a grip on his troubled time in Downing Street — but he’s by no means escaped the danger zone.

Starmer entered No. 10 in July in a position of unusual strength after securing Labour’s biggest election win since 1997. 

But it didn’t take long after Labour entered office for cracks to appear, with stories emerging of political allies being preferred for civil service jobs, Starmer and other ministers accepting freebies from donors and lobbyists, and discontent among government special advisers.
