KEIR Starmer’s possible successors as Prime Minister are more concerning than conflicts with Russia or espionage from China, Jeremy Clarkson has declared.
The former presenter humorously suggested that if Starmer is removed from office, a Rayner-Miliband duo could wreak havoc on both the party and the country.

In his column for The Times , Clarkson dismissed global threats like Russia, China, or rogue tech billionaires, expressing greater concern over the leadership of the government.
He wrote: “I’m significantly more anxious about who will succeed Starmer after his backbenchers feed him to the sharks.”
Clarkson, who broadcasts from his pub, The Farmer’s Dog, has consistently voiced his disapproval of the current government.
He has prohibited Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer from entering his pub and has extended the ban to all 400-plus Labour MPs in protest against what he calls the party’s “Budget tax-grab.”
Clarkson continued: “Rumor has it that Rayner and Miliband will create a disastrous partnership, and just think about the chaos they could cause before the next election.”
He added that, despite the turmoil, he prefers to remain optimistic, recalling, “what transpired when Liz Truss attempted something outrageous.”
He contended that the markets would likely shut down Rayner, just as they did with Liz Truss.
His remarks follow insider claims that Starmer and Rachel Reeves are operating in a “panicked bunker mentality.”
While Labour struggles with leadership conflicts, Clarkson is not hesitant to comment on the economic storm brewing.
Clarkson noted that some are forecasting a crash larger than any we have previously experienced, which he agreed is likely true.
However, he believes that, similar to past economic crises, the “tidal wave of awfulness” will eventually subside, and normalcy will return, as it did after the crashes of 1975, 1982, 1991, and 2008.
The TV personality, who also hosts and has been a long-time critic of Sir Keir.
In the lead-up to the 2024 election, he scoffed that he would prefer a dog as Prime Minister over the current leader.
Despite his sharp criticism of Starmer and the political turmoil, Clarkson took the opportunity to spread some festive cheer, assuring readers, “everything will be alright.”

The celebrity-turned-farmer encouraged readers to step away from the constant influx of news and enjoy a break during the festive season.
In his column , Clarkson shared advice for those looking to embrace his “pastel-colored optimism” for the upcoming year.
He suggested readers put their phones away and take a stroll in the woods that afternoon.
“Social media would have you think they’re filled with Islamist gunmen and children on fentanyl. But that’s not the case,” he wrote.
He concluded by recommending that, after taking some time to listen to the birds and the rustling leaves, readers should leave their phones aside
