Starmer expected to resign on Monday and set out orderly exit
The prime minister now accepts that his time has run out as majority of Labour MPs back Andy Burnhamhttps://observer.co.uk/news/politic...-to-resign-on-monday-and-set-out-orderly-exit
Keir Starmer is preparing to set out a timetable for his departure from No 10 this week after Andy Burnham’s triumphant return to Westminster in the Makerfield byelection.
The prime minister is understood to have reached the conclusion that his position is no longer tenable after conversations in recent days with cabinet ministers, Downing Street advisers, trade union leaders, and party donors.
Although Starmer is spending the weekend talking his future over with his wife, Victoria, at Chequers before making a final decision, senior Labour figures believe a “clear statement” could come as early as Monday.
