LONDON — A Labour former minister threatening to challenge Keir Starmer as prime minister will give MPs until Tuesday morning to nominate her as leader. Catherine West said Saturday she plans to force a leadership contest after last week’s devastating local election results for the ruling Labour Party, unless Starmer signals a change of direction in a speech Monday, or a Cabinet minister launches a challenge. West, a former Foreign Office minister, told London Playbook: “If I feel it’s flat and it’s all the same … I will then write to all the PLP [Parliamentary Labour Party] with my email [at lunchtime] looking for support for my bid.”  West requires the support of 81 MPs, representing 20 percent of the PLP, to kickstart a contest. She said she wants to “give a deadline” of Tuesday morning to avoid the challenge going “on and on,” because “sometimes these things fizzle out.”  West’s challenge would be a blow to Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham’s leadership ambitions as he does not sit in the House of Commons and would not be able to be a candidate in an immediate contest. Health Secretary Wes Streeting and former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, both sitting MPs, are also expected to stand if a leadership contest is triggered. West also left the door open to abandoning her bid altogether: “If suddenly [Starmer] gets the bit between his teeth and I can see some more fight, then things might change.”

BRUSSELS — The EU is poised to approve sanctions against so-called violent Israeli settlers, after Hungary’s new government signaled it would no longer block the measure, top diplomat Kaja Kallas said Monday ahead of the Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels. As first reported in Playbook, ministers are expected to reach a political agreement on the long-stalled sanctions, which former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had repeatedly blocked. But a breakthrough now appears possible after Péter Magyar was sworn in as Hungary’s prime minister last Saturday. Magyar has signaled he would not stand in the way of broadly supported sanction packages. “I expect political agreement on the sanctions of violent settlers,” Kallas said ahead of the meeting. “I really do hope that we have a political agreement regarding the violent settler sanctions that has been on the table for quite some time.” “There are proposals put forward by the member states,” she added. “Let’s see whether member states are willing to move there.” Kallas acknowledged that broader measures against Israel still lack support inside the bloc. “Currently, when we tested this on Friday with the ambassadors, it seems that we do not have the necessary majority to pass these measures,” she said, referring to a French-Swedish proposal targeting trade with West Bank settlements. “But really, what more can we do?” Several ministers arriving in Brussels echoed Kallas’ frustration at the EU’s inability to move faster. Luxembourg Foreign Minister Xavier Bettel said that “there is no measure that we are able to take, simply because there are always countries that are hesitant.” He added: “Some people tell us that history means we are eternally indebted to Israel, but that does not excuse this.” Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen said she also looked forward to “sanctioning violent settlers on the West Bank,” arguing that developments “both in Gaza and the West Bank have been quite worrying over past months.” Dutch Foreign Minister Tom Berendsen pushed for tougher steps. “We’re working on a full ban on products from the illegal settlements,” he said, adding that ministers would now test “where majorities could be” for further measures, including tariffs.
