Starmer continues to refuse to resign.
After surviving dozens of crises and scandals, embattled Labour party leader Keir Starmer is facing the most serious danger of losing political power of his 2-year Premiership.
The US DOJ release of the ‘Jeffrey Epstein files’ led to the dismissal of US ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson, and subsequent collapse of his life, from resigning from the House of Lords up to his arrest for suspicion of ‘Gross Misconduct in Public Office’.
But the fallout also hit PM Starmer square in the jaw, as the failed vetting process – that Mandelson flunked – and the cover-up led to an unprecedented crisis.
After the scapegoated Sir Olly Robbins testified to the House of Commons, and it became clear that Starmer’s chief of staff told the Foreign Office to ‘just f***ing approve it’, many in the British media and society feel the Premier has to go.
But Starmer himself has not ‘received the memo’, apparently.
Now, a Labour MP has come forward as the first member of Starmer’s party to call publicly for the PM to resign over his mishandling of the Mandelson vetting scandal.
