UK’s Starmer Faces Mounting Pressure to Step Down
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing growing pressure to step down after more than 70 of 403 Members of Parliament from the governing Labour Party called for him to set out a timetable for his departure.
The rebellion follows last week’s local elections, which saw Starmer’s Labour lose control of the Welsh parliament and almost three of every five English council seats it was defending.
