A panel discussion in the Financial Times argues for keeping Labour leader Keir Starmer despite speculation about his authority slipping. Political commentators contend Labour may be better off retaining Starmer, suggesting his leadership provides stability amidst internal and external challenges. The panel also examines the UK government's proposed ban on political donations in cryptocurrency and a cap on overseas donations at £100,000 annually.

This move directly impacts Reform UK, a party heavily reliant on such funding sources, potentially altering the political landscape significantly.
