Pressure is mounting on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. According to multiple British media outlets, the struggling government leader is reportedly considering stepping down after the election of his party rival, Andy Burnham, to the House of Commons. The newspaper “The Observer” suggests that Starmer could announce his decision as early as Monday. Meanwhile, Sky News reports that British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has voiced internal support for Starmer’s resignation. She allegedly conveyed this message privately to the Prime Minister over the weekend. This pressure stems from Starmer’s historically poor polling figures. The Labour Party suffered significant losses during the May local elections, which led to several cabinet ministers resigning in protest against his leadership style.
