resignations<\/h4>\n<p>On Tuesday, Miatta Fahnbulleh, minister of housing, communities and local government, became the first member of his government to step down, urging Starmer \u201cto do the right thing for the country\u201d and set a timetable for his departure.<\/p>\n<p>She was followed by Jess Phillips, the safeguarding minister, whose resignation letter called Starmer a \u201cgood man fundamentally\u201d but vented about his inability to make bold changes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know you care deeply, but deeds, not words are what matter,\u201d Phillips said. \u201cI\u2019m not sure we are grasping this rare opportunity with the gusto that\u2019s needed and I cannot keep waiting around for a crisis to push for faster progress.\u201d<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Despite winning a\u00a0landslide election victory in July 2024, Labour\u2019s popularity has sunk and Starmer is getting much of the blame.<\/p>\n<p>The reasons are varied, including a series of policy missteps, a perceived lack of vision, a struggling British economy and questions over his judgment \u2014 especially over his appointment of Peter Mandelson as U.K. ambassador to Washington despite the envoy\u2019s ties to the convicted sex offender\u00a0Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<h4>Starmer defiant<\/h4>\n<p>At the start of the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Starmer said he took responsibility for the losses in last week\u2019s local elections across the U.K. but that he would fight on. Labour was squeezed from right and left, losing votes to both the anti-immigrant Reform UK and the \u201ceco-populist\u201d Green Party, as well as nationalist parties in Scotland and Wales. The result reflects the increasing fragmentation of U.K. politics, long dominated by Labour and the Conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>Starmer said that there\u2019s a process to oust a leader and that it hadn\u2019t been triggered.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Under Labour\u2019s rules, candidates must have the support of a fifth of the party\u2019s House of Commons lawmakers \u2014 a number that currently stands at 81.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=4961\">Wall Street points to losses as pessimism over quick end to Iran war persists<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe country expects us to get on with governing,\u201d Starmer said. \u201cThe past 48 hours have been destabilizing for government and that has a real economic cost for our country and for families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That cost was evident in financial markets on Tuesday, with the interest rate charged on British government bonds up by more than those of comparable nations \u2014 that shows that investors are putting a higher price on taking on government debt.<\/p>\n<h4>Some voices of support<\/h4>\n<p>As Cabinet ministers left 10 Downing Street, some voiced their support for the embattled prime minister.<\/p>\n<p>Works and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden said nobody publicly challenged Starmer at the meeting, while Business Secretary Peter Kyle said the prime minister was showing \u201creally steadfast leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Health Secretary Wes Streeting, long believed to be preparing for a leadership challenge against Starmer, did not comment as he left the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWes Streeting, do you want the job, or not?\u201d one person yelled from across the street. \u201cAre you measuring the curtains?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was among senior ministers who dodged a barrage of shouted questions from a gaggle of reporters outside.<\/p>\n<p>Though no one in his Cabinet has challenged Starmer, he will be aware that someone else within the parliamentary party could trigger the leadership process.<\/p>\n<p>The next U.K. national election doesn\u2019t have to be held until 2029, but British politics allows parties to change leader midterm without the need for a general election.<\/p>\n<p>Starmer had hoped to regain momentum with a\u00a0speech on Monday\u00a0intended to kickstart his fightback, and an ambitious set of legislative plans to be set out by King Charles III at the State Opening of Parliament on Wednesday.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=4959\">Spain reports new hantavirus case in passenger evacuated from cruise ship as outbreak grows to 11<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Danica Kirka in London contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has told his Cabinet he won&#8217;t resign despite growing calls from within his Labour Party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4950,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-facts","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
