Starmer's Struggle: A Leadership Crisis in Full Swing The news from Labour's corridors of power has been dire, with Sir Keir Starmer facing intense pressure to step down as prime minister.
The past week saw a series of high profile resignations, including Home Office minister Jess Phillips and six ministerial aides, while more than 80 Labour MPs publicly called for the party leader to resign immediately or draw up an exit timetable.
Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador was widely criticized by his own party, and the disastrous set of elections for Labour last week has added fuel to the fire.
