Keir Starmer is under growing pressure to set a departure timetable after Labour's heavy losses in local elections across England and in Wales and Scotland, with Reform UK and Greens gaining ground; while MPs debate his future, top ministers publicly back him and potential successor Andy Burnham is not in Parliament, complicating any leadership challenge; Starmer vowed to fight on, arguing for a broad political movement rather than a simple left-right shift.
