8d Starmer's initial backing of No. 10 uprising is something out of Shakespeare? (6) S?G?E?

It looks like 'signet' but I can't fully parse it.

Starmer's initial = s
No 10 uprising = net

Maybe you can make more sense of it?

Are you sure of the 'G'?

Sonnet - 'S(tarmer; initial)' + 'no' (back) + 'ten' (uprising) (?)

^^^ That looks good, Lie-in King!

I had got "Rebelling" for 10a when a clearer head would have realised it was an anagram of "Elli" and "***". Moral of the story, I shouldn't do crosswords at 1am.

Thank you.

You're welcome :-)
