Report Claims UK PM Keir Starmer on Verge of Resignation

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is reportedly considering stepping down amid growing pressure within the ruling Labour Party, according to media reports.

The Observer newspaper reported that Starmer is expected to announce his resignation and outline a timetable for his departure as early as Monday. However, a government source cited by Reuters said the Prime Minister remains focused on governing and has previously stated that he would fight any challenge to his leadership.

Pressure on Starmer has intensified following recent political setbacks and increasing calls from Labour MPs for a change in leadership. Reports indicate that several senior party figures have urged him to set out an exit timetable, while speculation continues over potential successors, including Andy Burnham.

Despite the mounting pressure, Starmer has publicly maintained that he intends to continue in office and would contest any formal leadership challenge.

No official resignation announcement had been made at the time of reporting.
