An overview of potential candidates who could challenge Keir Starmer's leadership, including Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Deputy PM Angela Rayner, amid growing internal unrest in the Labour Party.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has informed his cabinet that he will not resign without a formal leadership challenge, emphasizing the need for the Labour Party to focus on governance despite internal pressures.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces mounting calls for resignation following significant losses in local elections, with two junior ministers resigning and over 80 Labour backbenchers demanding his departure.
Cabinet ministers, including Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, have urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to consider his position following the Labour Party's poor performance in recent local elections.
Labour MP Catherine West has withdrawn her challenge to Keir Starmer's leadership but calls for him to set a departure timetable by September, citing dissatisfaction with his leadership following recent election losses.
