Sir Keir Starmer is poised to strengthen his grip on Labour on the day of the King's Speech in elections to key party posts taking place at Westminster.
A leading Starmer loyalist, Jessica Morden, is tipped for victory in the election for Parliamentary Labour Party chair, a post she says is Labour MPs' "shop steward". .. And more loyalists to the prime minister, including two newly elected MPs, are also expected to win the three seats reserved for MPs on Labour's National Executive Committee.New MPs Gurinder Josan and Luke Akehurst, previously constituency party representatives, and Melanie Onn, back in the Commons after defeat in 2019, are tipped to be elected.
Labour's 411 MPs will also be voting for members of the party's parliamentary committee - a group of MPs that regularly meets the party leader, usually on a Wednesday after Prime Minister's Questions.
