Starmer vows decade-long project as leadership questions rise

Starmer says his government is a '10-year project' and vows to lead Labour into the next general election despite a drubbing in local elections and rising calls for his resignation. About 30 Labour MPs have publicly opposed his leadership, with a leadership challenge requiring 81 MPs' support, while ministers like Bridget Phillipson urge a fresh direction. If he serves a full second term, he would be among the longest-serving postwar British leaders.
