Labour turmoil spikes as MPs demand Keir Starmer's resignation after ‘reset’ speech
On May 11, Prime Minister Keir Starmer delivered a “make‑or‑break” speech that he billed as a reset for his government. Guardian columnists argued the speech was weak and warned it could be his last, while the BBC reported that nearly 60 Labour MPs have publicly called for him to resign or set a timetable for departure. One Labour MP initially threatened a leadership challenge but later withdrew, underscoring the internal chaos.
