Over 100 Labour MPs have called on Keir Starmer to resign as the embattled prime minister gears up for a challenge to his authority
The UK’s ruling Labour Party could plunge itself and the whole country into a “disaster,” MPs and political commentators are warning, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer stubbornly defying calls from within his own party to quit.
Labour’s leadership crisis came to a head this week when former Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham won Thursday’s Makerfield by-election, securing 55% of the vote. Now the party’s MPs expect him to challenge Starmer within weeks if not days, with many Labour Party members openly treating the prime minister as a lame duck and stating they want him gone.
Lord Charles Falconer, a Labour peer and a former justice secretary in Tony Blair’s government, weighed in on the issue on Saturday, stating that Starmer has “absolutely no authority.”
