Trump says Starmer will resign as UK prime minister
More than 100 Labour MPs are urging a timetable for departure as Andy Burnham emerges as the frontrunner to replace Starmer.
- Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Prime Minister Keir Starmer will resign, claiming the leader "failed badly" on immigration and energy policy.
- The rapport between Trump and Sir Keir has deteriorated in recent months, yet Sir Keir maintained they "get on really well" when questioned at the G7 gathering in France earlier this week.
