The demands for the resignation of the British Prime Minister and Labour leader have been intensifying since the party's major defeat in regional and local elections across the UK - in addition to the crisis of confidence surrounding Starmer's appointment of Peter Mandelson.
In protest against Starmer, a number of politicians and government employees have announced their resignations. The top brass, however, have either expressed their support for Starmer or remained silent.
Health Minister Wes Streeting positioned himself as a possible challenger - but after a barely 20-minute meeting with the Prime Minister at Downing Street on Wednesday morning, a formal challenge failed to materialize.
