Starmer to Resign as PM

Starmer to Resign as PM

Keir Starmer is expected to announce on Monday that he will step down as prime minister, following overwhelming pressure from Labour MPs after Andy Burnham's victory in the Makerfield by-election.

More than 100 MPs have called for Starmer to quit, with Burnham touting his 'Manchesterism' model as a national blueprint.

Donald Trump weighed in, claiming Starmer 'failed badly' on immigration and energy and predicting his resignation.

The crisis was triggered by Labour's loss of the Makerfield seat to Burnham, a former cabinet minister who has built a competing power base.
