UK junior minister Miatta Fahnbulleh resigns, urges PM Starmer to set exit timetable

Miatta Fahnbulleh said Labour has lacked vision and public trust, and she urged Keir Starmer to set a timetable for an orderly transition.

  • Minister Miatta Fahnbulleh resigned from the government on Tuesday morning, urging Sir Keir Starmer to set a timetable for an orderly transition following disappointing election results across England, Scotland and Wales.
  • Labour faced disappointing election results last week, intensifying internal pressure as more than 70 Labour MPs urged the Prime Minister to resign or draw up a timetable for transition.
  • Fahnbulleh cited policy mistakes including winter fuel payments and cuts to support for disabled people, stating: "The public does not believe that you can lead this change – and nor do I."
  • Her departure intensifies concerns about government paralysis, with the Prime Minister now facing the dual challenge of delivering Labour's promises while restoring public and internal confidence.
  • Sir Keir Starmer acknowledged the electoral setback on Monday, pledging "sweeping changes" while admitting there are "doubters" he must prove wrong to prevent the country going down a "dark path.
