Three Labour aides quit and over 60 MPs demand Starmer’s resignation
It was widely billed as a ‘make-or-break speech’ for the prime minister. But instead of convincing his own MPs, he shouldn’t resign following Labour’s massive losses in last week’s local elections; Keir Starmer is now under even more pressure to go.
Rebel backbencher Catherine West called the speech “too little, too late”, inviting MPs to call for a leadership election in September. Many have done so, and some ministerial aides have resigned.
