Sir Keir Starmer is under immense pressure to resign following the Labour Party's dismal performance in recent local elections. His former deputy, Angela Rayner, issued an ultimatum, stating it is Labour's 'last chance' to change course and criticised Sir Keir for blocking Andy Burnham from becoming an MP.
Potential Successors
Rayner, health secretary Wes Streeting and Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham are all seen as potential leadership contenders. Numerous Labour MPs are publicly calling for Sir Keir's resignation, with MP Catherine West threatening to trigger a leadership contest if cabinet members do not challenge him by Monday.
Starmer's Response
Sir Keir is expected to announce a 'bigger response' to challenges, including strengthening ties with Europe, in an effort to address the party's current difficulties.
