It’s breaking this evening that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said he will resign his position after devastating losses last weekend all over the UK.
First, here’s what the Daily Mail is reporting:
Keir Starmer has told close friends he intends to stand down as Prime Minister and set out an orderly timetable for his departure.A member of the Cabinet told me late yesterday afternoon: ‘Keir understands the political reality.
‘He realises the current chaos is unsustainable. He simply wants to be able to do it in a dignified way and in a manner of his own choosing. He will set out a timetable.’
According to another Cabinet source, it is still unclear precisely when that announcement will be made. Some senior Starmer allies have been urging him to hold off making any statement until the first polls and canvassing data is returned from the Makerfield by-election.
And here’s that led Starmer to this result, via the AP:
As the final results came in Saturday, Labour suffered a net loss of more than 1,100 local council seats across England, lost control of several local authorities it had held for decades and was booted from power in Wales after 27 years. Anti-immigration party Reform UK gained over 1,300 seats across England and made significant gains in legislative elections in Wales and Scotland.It was a blunt verdict from voters in elections widely seen as an unofficial referendum on Starmer, whose popularity has plummeted since he led the center-left party to power less than two years ago.
Imagine that, the anti-immigration party is suddenly winning major seats. It’s actually not hard to imagine with all the Muslim attacks in the UK and Europe – like the horrific one today.
