US President Donald Trump declared on social media on Sunday that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was on his way out of Downing Street, posting on Truth Social that 'Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom. He failed badly on two very important subjects — IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!). I wish him well!' The post came hours before Starmer was widely expected to make a formal announcement.
It was reported on Saturday that Starmer had concluded his position was no longer tenable after a series of consultations with senior cabinet ministers, political advisers, party donors and trade union leaders. Downing Street has not issued any official confirmation, but pressure on the prime minister has been mounting for weeks.
