Starmer faces resignation pressure after Labour election collapse

Pressure on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign intensified Monday following crushing Labour losses in local and regional elections. Dozens of Labour MPs have reportedly urged him to step aside, according to France 24.

Starmer has signaled defiance, saying he will not quit. The scale of the electoral defeat has nonetheless triggered calls from within his own party for a leadership change. Several ministers are said to be distancing themselves from the prime minister as speculation grows about a potential succession battle.
