Scottish Labour's Anas Sarwar to call on UK PM Keir Starmer to resign

Related news

Keir Starmer should quit, the leader of Scottish Labour will demand in a blow to the UK prime minister’s fragile authority.

Anas Sarwar will use a press conference to call for Starmer to quit as Labour leader as the prime minister battles to remain in No 10.

The prime minister’s chief of staff Morgan McSweeney and communications chief Tim Allan have quit in the wake of the Peter Mandelson scandal.

Sarwar is the most senior Labour politician to call for Starmer to go, perhaps conscious of the task facing Scottish Labour in May’s Holyrood elections.

Downing Street insisted on Monday that Starmer would not resign and was ‘concentrating on the job in hand’.
