UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer Reportedly Facing Pressure to Resign

LONDON:** British Prime Minister **Sir Keir Starmer** could step down as early as Monday, according to reports in the British media.

Reports suggest that Starmer may announce his resignation and present a roadmap for the selection of a new Labour Party leader.

The prime minister has reportedly been under increasing pressure from Labour Members of Parliament to provide a timetable for his departure. The pressure is said to have intensified following **Andy Burnham’s** electoral victory and return to Parliament.

According to a British newspaper, Starmer has become aware that a majority of Labour MPs are backing Burnham as a potential successor.

Meanwhile, **The Telegraph** reported that if Andy Burnham becomes prime minister, **Shabana Mahmood** is expected to remain in the cabinet. Mahmood is said to favor continuing work on immigration reforms, and further tightening of citizenship rules for illegal migrants could also be considered.

However, no official announcement regarding Starmer’s resignation has been made so far.
