London: Prime Minister Keir Starmer defied calls to resign on Tuesday, telling his ministers he would get on with governing despite a "destabilising" 48 hours.
At a meeting of his cabinet, Starmer, in the top job for less than two years, repeated that, while he took responsibility for one of his Labour Party's worst election defeats, there had been no official move to trigger a leadership contest. Several loyal ministers expressed their support for him.
