UK's Starmer Promises to Be Bolder to Try to Rescue His Job

Starmer vowed to be bolder and avoid a leadership contest as three aides quit and more than 60 Labour MPs demanded his resignation.

  • On Monday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced renewed pressure when three ministerial aides resigned and more than 60 Labour MPs publicly called for his resignation.
  • The revolt follows the Labour Party's worst local election results in more than three decades on May 7, fueling concerns that Starmer has been too timid tackling Britain's economic stagnation.
  • Former junior minister Catherine West told Reuters she received 80 responses supporting her demand that Starmer establish a timetable for his departure.
  • Rejecting resignation calls, Starmer pledged in a London speech on Monday that "incremental change won't cut it," vowing to govern with greater urgency.
  • Facing populist challenges from Reform UK and the Green Party, Starmer warned his party against internal division, cautioning that infighting could lead Britain down a "very dangerous" path.
