Labour MP says she will trigger leadership contest by Monday if cabinet does not launch challenge
West said cabinet ministers must challenge Keir Starmer by Monday or face a leadership contest as Labour reels from local election losses.
- Labour MP Catherine West told cabinet ministers to challenge Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer by Monday, threatening to trigger a leadership contest herself if they fail to act.
- This ultimatum follows heavy local election losses where Labour defended only 47 per cent of seats while Conservatives retained 63 per cent, according to Press Association analysis.
- More than 30 Labour MPs have publicly urged Starmer to quit or outline a transition plan, with critics arguing the party needs a leader with "clear vision" and "conviction."
- Rejecting calls to resign, Starmer vowed not to "walk away," warning that stepping down would "plunge the country into chaos" while preparing a major reset speech for Monday.
- The Prime Minister will deliver a major speech on Monday and the King's Speech on Wednesday to reset his premiership, attempting to stabilize his government amid internal turmoil.
