Andy Burnham - who has been described as Starmer's rival and challenger - secured a seat in the British House of Commons this week, paving the way for a fight for the position as Labour Party leader and, by extension, the role of prime minister.
British media are now reporting that Keir Starmer is approaching a decision to resign. Sources told The Observer that Starmer has concluded that his “position is no longer sustainable” based on conversations with ministers, donors and union leaders in recent days.
Sources within Labour state that an announcement could come as early as Monday and that Burnham has enough support in Parliament to challenge Starmer.
