Approximately 70 MPs from the ruling Labor Party in England called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign due to the poor results in the local elections held on May 7 and the regional parliamentary elections in Scotland and Wales.
While 66 Labor Party MPs made separate statements and asked Prime Minister Starmer to resign, seeing him as responsible for the election defeat, some pointed to Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham as the new leader.
Among those calling on Starmer to resign were MPs Tom Rutland, Sally Jameson and Tom Morris, who also serve as ministerial advisors.
Three MPs, who serve as parliamentary advisors to the Minister of Internal Affairs, Minister of Health and Minister of Environment, emphasized that Starmer has lost the trust of the public and that he should start the process to elect a new leader.
