UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing a potential leadership crisis as members of his own Cabinet and Labour backbenchers are reportedly waiting for poor local election results to demand his resignation. Senior sources have now told The i Paper that some Cabinet members are holding secret talks about the timing of such a move and who should deliver the message to the Prime Minister. This internal plotting indicates a significant erosion of confidence in Starmer's leadership within the highest levels of his government. The situation suggests a coordinated effort is being prepared to force a change at the top if the party's electoral performance does not improve.
