• After a heavy defeat for the Labour Party in local elections, Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces calls to resign from within his own party.
  • Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper have reportedly advised Starmer to step down.
  • More than 70 Labour MPs have publicly withdrawn support for Starmer, and four parliamentary aides to ministers have resigned.
