Cabinet ministers ‘may well’ tell Starmer to quit at meeting, health minister says

The health minister has said that members of Sir Keir Starmer’s cabinet “may well” tell him to resign on Tuesday (12 May). It comes as more than 70 MPs have now publicly urged the prime minister to resign or set out a timetable for his departure, whilst four have quit as ministerial aides following a poor performance in the local elections. Appearing on Newsnight on Monday (11 May), Stephen Kinnock said that Sir Keir may be asked to step down when cabinet members meet for their weekly meeting on Tuesday. ““It is clear for everybody to see that a lot of people are either coming out and calling for Keir to resign or whatever it might be, and it is possible that members of the Cabinet might do that.”
