UK PM Starmer faces leadership crisis as Labour MPs demand exit
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is fighting to stay in power as over 70 Labour lawmakers publicly called for his departure on Monday. Several ministerial aides stepped down after his appeal for another chance failed to gain traction. Senior cabinet ministers have reportedly urged Starmer to announce an exit plan.
