Sir Keir Starmer is under intense pressure to resign following US President Donald Trump's prediction that he will step down imminently. Trump posted on his Truth Social account on Sunday that Starmer 'will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom'. He accused the prime minister of having 'failed badly' on immigration and energy, specifically calling for new oil exploration in the North Sea to be opened up, and signed off with 'I wish him well!'.
The remarks have added to speculation that Starmer may announce his departure or a timetable for it as soon as Monday, as his government contends with a serious internal revolt and weak public support.
