Starmer battles political crisis after Labour's election collapse

Prime Minister Keir Starmer is fighting for his political life following the most perilous week of his premiership, according to Politico Europe. The crisis follows catastrophic results in last week's local and regional elections, where the Labour Party performed poorly. A health minister has resigned amid the turmoil.

Starmer and his inner circle at Number 10 are engaged in damage control efforts to stabilize the government. The developments signal mounting pressure on the Prime Minister's leadership as he faces new political competition.
