Starmer faces Labour leadership challenge threat after election losses
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer could face a leadership challenge as soon as next week after his Labour Party suffered major losses in Thursday’s local elections.Labour MP Catherine West told the BBC that if a Cabinet minister does not challenge Starmer by Monday, she will trigger a leadership contest herself.West said she was putting the Cabinet "on notice.""I’m putting people on notice — if I don’t hear by Monday morning of some leadership hopefuls, I will be asking everybody in the Parliamentary Labour Party to put a name against my name, because we need to get this ball rolling," she told the outlet.TRUMP ‘RIGHT TO BE OUTRAGED’ BY EUROPE’S BETRAYAL ON IRAN, SAYS FORMER THATCHER ADVISOR UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer provides an update on the Middle East situation during a news conference at Downing Street in London on March 5, 2026.

UK politics live: Starmer vows to 'face up to big challenges' in make ...
Sir Keir Starmer is fighting to save his political future after being handed an ultimatum by his former deputy Angela Rayner, who said the Labour Party faces its “last chance” to change course after dismal local election results. Both Ms Rayner and health secretary Wes Streeting are seen as potential leadership contenders, although both are yet to make a move against the prime minister. Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham is also seen as candidate, although he is still not an MP after Sir Keir blocked his previous attempt earlier this year. Over the weekend, Ms Rayner said Sir Keir must “prioritise making people better off” and called the blocking of Andy Burnham to be Labour’s candidate in February’s Gorton and Denton by-election a “mistake”.The prime minister will say on Monday that he will “face up to the big challenges” and will vow a “bigger response” than anticipated in 2024, which includes strengthening ties with Europe. His premiership is under immense pressure as dozens of Labour MPs publicly call for him to resign after the party was wiped out in local elections this week.On Saturday, Labour MP Catherine West issued an ultimatum to cabinet members, telling them to challenge Sir Keir by Monday, or she will start formally gathering names to trigger a contest.The towns and cities that show politics in England is splintering from two-party systemLocal elections in England have seen Labour lose more than a thousand councillors and control of dozens of councils across the country.The party’s grip on London has also been severely weakened, with Labour losing control of nearly half of the 21 boroughs they previously held in the capital, after a strong showing from Zack Polanski’s Green Party.Read the full article here: Holly Evans11 May 2026 08:22Allies of Andy Burnham 'have a plan' to elect him as an MP, reports sayIt has been reported in Politico that Andy Burnham’s allies have formulated a plan to return him to Westminster, with a specific MP willing to stand down to trigger a by-election.The Greater Manchester mayor was blocked from running as an MP earlier this year, and is viewed as a threat to Sir Keir Starmer’s premiership.
