There’s speculation that that is something Trump and the Republicans are after, with some evidence to support that theory.
There’s zero evidence to support New Labour will attempt the same. This is just tin foil pulled out your arse conspiracy, which aids nobody but the fascists. Don’t let the bastards win, don’t spread unfounded conspiracies.
Only two elections have ever been cancelled in our history, both during world wars. Both times the ruling party didn’t keep control but instead a coalition government of varying parties was formed. The strategy of cancelling elections to keep power in the UK therefore doesn’t work, has no evidence to support it, and the ruling party don’t have the public support to even attempt let alone pull off.
You forget that Starmer loves shooting himself in tbe foot and hates good press
And he could try the whole “no elections during wartime” strategy if he really wants to end up even more hates than he already is

There is no way the Lords would allow that, nevermind the King. We are a consitutional monarchy. The buck doesn’t stop at Starmer.
In fact, I doubt even Starmer’s own MPs would follow such a whip
His domestic politics have been a disaster, but his international stuff has been pretty damn good. Mostly…
I take that back, the government’s position on Israel/Gaza is a disgusting… Apart from that though!
The bad domestic policies he quietly tended to walk back a bit, like the whole mandatory ID thing
