Starmer faces cabinet divisions amid growing resignation calls

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces pressure to resign after over 80 Labour MPs called for his departure following significant losses in recent local elections, where the party lost more than 1,400 seats. Starmer has expressed his intent to remain in office, arguing that Labour must avoid the instability of frequent leadership changes. Potential challengers include Health Secretary Wes Streeting and former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, although Rayner’s candidacy is complicated by an ongoing investigation into her tax affairs.
