Zubir Ahmed Becomes Fourth Minister to Quit Keir Starmer Government
More than 80 Labour MPs and several junior ministers have urged Sir Keir Starmer to quit after council election losses.
- On Tuesday, four junior members of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Cabinet resigned from their roles following the Labour Party's disastrous showing in parliamentary elections.
- More than 80 members of Parliament have called for Starmer to resign his post, though he has resisted the pressure amid the election shakeup.
- Resigning ministers include Jess Phillips, Zubir Ahmed, Alex Davies-Jones, and Miatta Fahnbulleh; The New York Times reported that Phillips and Ahmed maintain close ties to Health Secretary Wes Streeting, a potential challenger.
- Starmer told ministers during a Tuesday Cabinet meeting, "The country expects us to get on with governing," arguing that his resignation would allow Nigel Farage of the Reform party to take control.
- Pledging to prove critics wrong, Starmer stated, "incremental change won't cut it," and promised a "bigger response" while advocating for a stronger, mainstream Labour Party focused on the European Union.
