British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated on Tuesday that he will continue his government work, ignoring calls from ministers and parliamentarians to step down. Starmer challenged leadership candidates to contest him, after Miatta Fahnbulleh resigned from her position as deputy minister, asking him to plan his departure.
Over 70 members of parliament have called for his immediate resignation or a timeline for it, following the poor results of the Labour Party in the local elections. Starmer emphasized that the country expects government continuity and mentioned that the process of challenging the leader has not yet been triggered. Pressure on him has increased, especially after significant losses in Wales and against the Scottish National Party. Recent scandals and a lack of economic progress have also affected his image. Starmer is facing a crucial day in his term, having to manage an increasingly complicated situation in the party.
