Labour in Crisis: MPs Plot Keir Starmer’s Exit After Electoral Setback

Keir Starmer faces a growing revolt within Labour after a national vote drubbing, with more than 60 MPs calling for his resignation. Options to topple him range from an orderly exit timetable pushed by Catherine West (requiring roughly 80 MPs) to cabinet pressure and leadership bids from rivals such as Wes Streeting, Angela Rayner, or Andy Burnham. Any challenger must secure 80 MPs, then win a party vote via constituency and affiliate support, before facing Labour’s members in a leadership contest that would determine Britain’s next prime minister.
