Mahmood leads cabinet revolt against Starmer
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood was among four cabinet ministers who went into Downing Street on Monday evening to tell Keir Starmer to set out a timetable for his resignation. Four government parliamentary aides resigned during the day as more than 70 Labour MPs signed a letter calling on the prime minister to step down. Starmer had earlier made a defiant speech taking responsibility for the local election losses but promising to continue in office.
