UK PM Starmer defies resignation calls, vows to govern on

After a lackluster performance in the local elections, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has rejected any calls for his resignation, reaffirming his determination to lead the Labour Party. In a recent cabinet meeting, he acknowledged that this was one of Labour's most significant electoral failures but noted that there haven't been any formal moves to challenge his leadership. Four ministers have expressed their support for him. Since taking office with a strong majority after the 2024 national election, Starmer has faced controversies and policy changes. On Monday, he pledged to take stronger actions to tackle Britain's challenges, warning that recent developments have led to instability affecting the economy. He told his cabinet, "The country expects us to get on with governing."
