British media reports that an announcement from Prime Minister Keir Starmer is imminent:
He is ready to resign.
– I think he sees reality as it is, says a source to The Observer.
After several weeks of massive internal criticism has Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer realized that “the game is over”, states allied politicians for The Telegraph.
Therefore, the Labor leader is now preparing his resignation.
According to The Observer the announcement is expected to come already on Monday.
– Stopping the chaos is not possible by staying, so that leaves only one option, says a high-ranking party colleague to the newspaper.
Downing Street denies
The pressure on the already heavily criticized Prime Minister has increased somewhat enormously since the Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham won the fill-in election in Makersfield last Thursday.
This means that he will take a seat in parliament – and thus can challenge Starmer for the party leader position.
Downing Street denies the reports and lets it be known that Keir Starmer is ready to fight on, reports Sky News.
Around 100 Labor MPs have called for Keir Starmer to resign. That is around a quarter of the party’s group in the British Parliament.
