Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Starmer Fights On As Labour Faces Growing Leadership Pressure
Caption: Starmer Fights On As Labour Faces Growing Leadership Pressure. Keir Starmer is “fighting on” despite mounting pressure over his leadership, according to Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy. Lammy said Labour must now unite and focus on contesting the upcoming Makerfield by-election after days of internal divisions and resignations. More than 90 Labour MPs have reportedly called for Starmer to step down, while several ministers — including Wes Streeting — have resigned. Streeting has also confirmed he would run in any future leadership contest while allies of Andy Burnham are pushing for him to return to Westminster through the by-election. Burnham is expected to seek the Labour nomination before the deadline later today. The turmoil comes as Labour struggles to recover from heavy election losses and growing questions over the party’s direction.
