The number of MPs calling for Starmer’s resignation keeps growing – if it reaches 81, it triggers a leadership contest.
On an early morning post today, we were reporting on the Labour revolt against failing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, notably among the party’s lawmakers.
I wrote about how ‘only’ 30 Labour members of parliament had so far publicly voiced opposition to his leadership.
But now, a few hours later, the number of rebels has more than doubled, and stands at 60-62 MPs (depending on the source), and let me clear about this: it’s 60 Labour MPs, lawmakers from his own party.
Also, three ‘parliamentary private secretaries’ (who are MPs) resigned from the Government and joined the rebel MPs.

The BBC is saying that Things are moving quickly right now and Starmer is very vulnerable.
Starmer’s ‘reset’ speech fell flat – after all, how many resets can one PM get to do in one dysfunctional government?
‘It was a remarkable barrage of blandness and a cacophony of cliches!’

🚨Tom Harwood just roasted Keir Starmer’s reset speech on GB News.
“There was a bit of overenthusiasm.”
He called it nothing more than a tired rehash of the same old lines.
