British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is reportedly considering stepping down this week amid growing pressure from members of the ruling Labour Party.
Gatekeepers News reports that according to reports by British media outlets, Starmer is facing mounting calls to resign following Andy Burnham’s victory in the Makerfield by-election, a result that has strengthened Burnham’s position within the party.
Several reports claim Burnham now enjoys significant backing among Labour MPs and is viewed by many as a potential successor.
According to Reuters, reports of an imminent resignation have intensified following Burnham’s return to Parliament. However, a government source quoted by Reuters insisted that Starmer remains focused on his duties and has previously stated that he would contest any leadership challenge.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Starmer nor Downing Street had officially confirmed any resignation plans.
