Calls for Starmer's resignation within his Labour Party started historic losses last month in local election across England, Scotland and Wales.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is reportedly considering resigning following a series of electoral losses, most recently political rival Andy Burnham on Friday winning a seat in Parliament, putting him in position to mount a formal leadership challenge.
Starmer considering whether to step down was first reported by the British newspaper The Observer.
He is reportedly talking about the matter with his wife and purportedly could make an announcement as early as this week. However, other news reports say he doesn't plan to resign or set out a timetable for a resignation.
Calls for his resignation within his Labour Party started historic losses last month in local elections across England, Scotland and Wales.
In addition, Parliamentary aides resigned and called for Starmer's resignation on his own timetable.
However, he said at the time: "I’ve said repeatedly I’m not going to walk away ... ."
Starmer has led the Labour Party since 2020 and became prime minister in 2024, according to FoxNews.com.
