United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to step down from his post after facing increasing criticism from his own party and cabinet, and a challenge from his party colleague and rival Andy Burnham.
Starmer's leadership has been under scrutiny after Labour Party's crushing electoral defeats in a series of elections in May, with several cabinet members and MPs urging him to work on a timeline for his exit or resign immediately.
The person most expected to replace Starmer is Labour Party's Andy Burnham, who won a special election in Makerfield on Friday, clearing the path for him to challenge the Prime Minister.
Starmer's health secretary, Wes Streeting, has hinted that he would run if there is a leadership contest, while a cabinet minister said that Starmer is reflecting on 'political realities' and making time to reflect on the challenges and opportunities he faces.
US President Donald Trump has also weighed in, saying that Starmer 'will resign' as Prime Minister of the UK, citing his failures on immigration and energy.
Starmer's resignation would mark the UK's seventh Prime Minister in a decade, and it remains uncertain whether he will give into the pressure and resign or fight the challenge against Burnham.
