Keir Starmer is expected to resign as prime minister on Monday and set out a timetable for an orderly departure, the Observer reported on Saturday. The newspaper said Starmer had concluded his position was no longer tenable after speaking to cabinet ministers, advisers, donors and union leaders, and was discussing the decision with his wife at Chequers. A government source said Starmer remained focused on governing, and no formal resignation has been announced.
