Signs are mounting that Sir Keir Starmer will announce a timetable to resign as early as Monday, as the mood within the Labour government shifts decisively against him. Business Secretary Peter Kyle told the BBC that Starmer is reflecting on what is best for the country, while dozens of MPs and senior cabinet ministers—including Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, and Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander—have privately told him to step down. The trigger is the Makerfield by-election, where Andy Burnham decisively defeated Reform UK, convincing many Labour MPs that Starmer’s personal unpopularity is holding the party back.
