Many Labour MPs Are Blaming Starmer for Elections Body Blow
Labour MPs say nearly 900 councillor losses and defeats in Wales and the north-west show Starmer cannot lead the party into another election.
- At least a dozen Labour MPs publicly urged Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to resign or set a departure timeline following damaging election results.
- The Labour Party recently lost nearly 900 councillors and its governing power in the Welsh Senedd, while Reform made significant gains in areas across the country.
- McDonnell told LBC, "we could lose the Labour party under Keir Starmer," while MPs including Haigh and Baines argued the Prime Minister cannot lead them into another election.
- Sir Keir is "hunkering down" in No10 and plans to deliver a major speech and unveil new legislation next week to address the crisis.
- Business Secretary Peter Kyle urged a "collective effort" to reverse results, though Blake argued an orderly transition plan for a post-Starmer Labour party is needed before the next election.
