UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to resign amid growing discontent over his immigration policies and energy decisions. President Trump stated that Mr. Starmer will soon resign, citing his failures on immigration and energy.
Background
Mr. Starmer’s government initially blocked US use of British military bases to launch attacks against Iran, but later relented. His relationship with President Trump soured after the US and Israeli campaign against Iran.
Mr. Starmer spent the weekend at Chequers, discussing his future with his wife, Victoria, before making his final decision. A Labour Party official said that Mr. Starmer won’t leave abruptly but has acknowledged the political reality.
Nigel Farage, leader of the UK’s right-of-center Reform Party, called the election results a ‘dramatic, emphatic win’ for Andy Burnham, who is expected to launch a formal leadership challenge against Mr. Starmer.
