Labour's significant election losses across Britain have put pressure on Sir Keir Starmer to make changes. Certain Labour MPs are pressing him to announce a date for his resignation, in the aftermath of a devastating defeat where the party surrendered control of over 25 English councils. Starmer, however, has insisted he won't quit as prime minister, despite the party ending its 27-year rule in Wales.
