Henry Zeffman: Keir Starmer fights back for now

It was intriguing that Ed Miliband, the energy secretary, did not say anything as he left cabinet. He is politically close to Miatta Fahnbulleh, who quit as a government minister first thing this morning and called on the prime minister to consider his position. She is backing Burnham, and it will be interesting to see if other ministers of her persuasion follow her lead.
