A very strong speculation and mounting pressure for Keir Starmer’s resignation is all around!

Many news outlets report that he is about to announce a timetable for his departure—potentially as soon as today (Monday). Here’s the current situation based on recent reports:

• Starmer is under intense internal Labour pressure after poor by-election results and Andy Burnham’s (former Greater Manchester Mayor) decisive win in Makerfield. Burnham is widely seen as the favorite to replace him and is being sworn in as an MP today. pbs.org
• Multiple outlets (BBC, Guardian, NYT, CNBC, etc.) report that Starmer is expected to outline an exit plan, with an autumn departure the most likely scenario. He has been at Chequers reflecting on his future. bbc.com
• A top ally declined to reaffirm that Starmer would fight any leadership challenge, signaling a shift. nytimes.com
• Donald Trump posted on Truth Social claiming Starmer “will resign,” criticizing his record on immigration and energy. This drew attention but wasn’t based on new confirmed information from No. 10. washingtonpost.com

Starmer has previously said he wouldn’t walk away from a contest, but senior figures now expect him to step aside to avoid a full leadership battle.

Things could move quickly today with Burnham’s swearing-in and any announcement from Starmer. This remains fluid—check reliable UK news sources (BBC, Guardian, etc.) for the latest updates.

We at Janus Press with joy, say Good Bye to this puppet !
