LONDON: Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed on Monday to prove his doubters wrong and stem mounting calls for him to step down after disastrous local and regional elections for his ruling Labour party.
But more than 60 of Labour’s 403 MPs asked him to step down, unconvinced by his pledge to make the party bolder and better to assuage disgruntled voters impatient for change.
They included four government aides who resigned their positions.
The Times newspaper reported that the prime minister has been advised by interior minister Shabana Mahmood and two other ministers to consider setting out a timeline for his departure.
