UK's Starmer says his government is a ten-year project despite calls to quit
Starmer said he will lead Labour for a decade as more than 30 lawmakers call for a new leader after the party’s local election losses.
- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed to remain in office on Saturday, describing his government as a "10-year project" despite mounting calls to quit after Labour's drubbing in local elections earlier this week.
- Labour lost more than 1,400 councillors in England last week, while suffering historic defeats in Wales and Scotland, prompting growing calls from lawmakers for Starmer's removal.
- Downing Street announced on Saturday that Starmer appointed Labour veterans Gordon Brown and Harriet Harman as advisers, tasking Brown with developing new international finance partnerships.
- Former minister Catherine West said she would listen to Starmer's speech on Monday before deciding whether to seek the backing of the 81 members of parliament needed to trigger a leadership contest.
- The government is close to finalizing a youth mobility scheme with the European Union, which Starmer positioned as central to his long-term agenda despite the immediate political crisis.
