Starmer continues to refuse to resign.
After surviving dozens of crises and scandals, embattled Labour party leader Keir Starmer is facing the most serious danger of losing political power of his 2-year Premiership.
The US DOJ release of the ‘Jeffrey Epstein files’ led to the dismissal of US ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson, and subsequent collapse of his life, from resigning from the House of Lords up to his arrest for suspicion of ‘Gross Misconduct in Public Office’.
But the fallout also hit PM Starmer square in the jaw, as the failed vetting process – that Mandelson flunked – and the cover-up led to an unprecedented crisis.
After the scapegoated Sir Olly Robbins testified to the House of Commons, and it became clear that Starmer’s chief of staff told the Foreign Office to ‘just f***ing approve it’, many in the British media and society feel the Premier has to go.
But Starmer himself has not ‘received the memo’, apparently.

Now, a Labour MP has come forward as the first member of Starmer’s party to call publicly for the PM to resign over his mishandling of the Mandelson vetting scandal.
The Telegraph reported:
“On Wednesday, Jonathan Brash, the MP for Hartlepool, demanded the Prime Minister’s resignation and said no MP ‘reasonably expects’ him to last until the next general election.
He broke cover as three former Cabinet secretaries lined up to criticize Sir Keir after he sacked Sir Olly Robbins as chief of the Foreign Office for not telling him that Lord Mandelson had failed his security vetting.”

Ministers and backbenchers have reportedly soured on him, including members of the foreign affairs committee who feel Starmer was wrong to sack [former Foreign Office chief] Sir Olly [Robbins].
“Speaking on GB News on Tuesday, Mr Brash said: ‘I’m completely fed up about it, and I think it’s got to the point now where I genuinely think that as far as the Prime Minister is concerned it’s not a case of if – it’s when. Ultimately, we’re in a situation now where I don’t think anyone reasonably expects the Prime Minister to lead the party into the next election’.”
‘You’re saying it’s not if, but when the Prime Minister should resign?’
‘Yeah.’
