British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood have joined calls for Prime Minister Keir Starmer's resignation.
The ministerial stance comes in support of approximately 77 Labour Party lawmakers from the ruling party who have demanded the removal of their leader. The move reflects a sharp internal crisis in the British government.
The defection of senior ministers from party leadership is considered a strong indicator of the depth of the political crisis facing the government.
