British Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned that a leadership challenge would plunge the Labour Party into “chaos” following poor local election results. The situation escalated Thursday as Health Secretary Wes Streeting resigned and called for Starmer to step down, though he has not yet launched a formal bid for the leadership.
Internal pressure has reached a boiling point, with 11 Labour-affiliated unions stating Starmer cannot lead the party into the next election. While some cabinet members remain loyal, nearly 100 MPs are reportedly demanding a departure timetable. Meanwhile, the Scottish National Party has threatened a motion of no confidence, further destabilizing Starmer’s position as he vows to remain in office.
