Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar calls for Keir Starmer to quit as Prime Minister
Sarwar says leadership failures linked to Mandelson-Epstein scandal threaten Labour's May election prospects, urging Starmer to step down to end political distraction.
- On Monday, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign during a Glasgow press conference, citing 'too many mistakes'.
- Newly released 'Epstein files' and related documents have deepened scrutiny of Mandelson’s ties to Epstein, fueling the crisis surrounding Starmer’s 2024 appointment of Mandelson despite knowing of his connections.
- A recent Opinium poll of 2,053 adults found 55 percent want Starmer to resign, while Kalshi showed a 23 percent chance before March 1 and Star Sports offered 1/4 odds on his replacement this year.
- Facing MPs behind closed doors Monday, Starmer met support from Cabinet ministers while senior aides, including Morgan McSweeney, resigned on Sunday.
- Looking toward May, the unfolding police probe and release of 'Epstein files' may influence Labour's election chances, as documents could take weeks to publish.
