British cabinet ministers are expected to demand today that Prime Minister Keir Starmer set out a timetable for his departure, according to The Times. The report comes as Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham won a seat in Parliament, a move seen in London as strengthening speculation that he could challenge Starmer for the Labour Party leadership.
According to the newspaper, ministers plan to urge Starmer to establish an orderly schedule for transferring power and to make clear in a series of meetings that his time is up. The comments reflect growing pressure inside the government as questions intensify over Starmer’s political future.
The report does not say when any transition would take place, only that cabinet members want him to outline his exit plan now.
