LONDON: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to resign on Monday (June 22) and set out a timetable for his departure, the Observer newspaper reported on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The newspaper said Starmer had concluded that his position was no longer tenable after speaking to cabinet ministers, advisers, donors and trade union leaders.<\/p>\n
The report said Starmer was discussing the matter with his wife at his Chequers country residence before making a final decision, but that senior Labour figures expected a clear statement on his future as early as Monday.<\/p>\n
Starmer renewed his vow Friday to fight any challenge to his Labour Party leadership, after his rival carved a path to Downing Street by winning a key by-election.<\/p>\n
“If there is a contest, then yes I will run, I will stand. I’ve said repeatedly, I’m not going to walk away from that,” he told reporters in London after Andy Burnham was elected an MP in a northwest English constituency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LONDON: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to resign on Monday (June 22) and set out a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":649700,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[218650,59,57,58,420,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-649699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-calls-for-resignation","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-keir-starmer","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=649699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649699\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/649700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=649699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=649699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=649699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
