Four parliamentary private secretaries resigned from the British government on Monday, all calling for Keir Starmer to step down. They were Joe Morris, aide to Health Secretary Wes Streeting; Naushabah Khan in the Cabinet Office; Tom Rutland, aide to Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds; and Melanie Ward, aide to Foreign Secretary David Lammy. A fifth aide, Sally Jameson, who works for Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, joined the calls but did not quit her role.
