Immediately after his victory <strong>Andy Bernham<\/strong> In the parliamentary elections, Starmer\u2019s support among MPs fell sharply.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important; font-style: italic !important; color: #444444 !important; line-height: 1.6 !important; text-transform: none !important; border-left: 4px solid #888888 !important; padding-left: 18px !important; margin: 25px 0 !important; display: block !important;\">\u00abKir has time to reflect on the political realities,\u00bb said Business Minister Peter Kyle, commenting on the situation within the government. He emphasised that Starmer is actively discussing his options with various political figures.<\/p>\n<p>The situation escalated after Bernham won the election in <strong>Greater Manchester<\/strong> with a majority of over 9,000 votes, which has strengthened his position within the party. Around 200 Labour MPs have expressed their willingness to support his candidacy for the leadership. This was reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/politics\/2026\/jun\/21\/keir-starmer-expected-to-announce-departure-as-prime-minister-on-monday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports<\/a> <em><strong>The Guardian<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Starmer, who secured a convincing victory in the general election just two years ago, is now facing serious challenges. His time as Prime Minister has been marked by numerous controversies and U-turns, which have led to a fall in Labour\u2019s poll ratings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important; font-style: italic !important; color: #444444 !important; line-height: 1.6 !important; text-transform: none !important; border-left: 4px solid #888888 !important; padding-left: 18px !important; margin: 25px 0 !important; display: block !important;\">\u00abIf there is a contest, I will stand,\u00bb said Starmer, emphasising his readiness to fight for the leadership. However, his position is becoming increasingly vulnerable, and many MPs believe that, unless there is a change at the top, Labour could lose control of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the pressure on Starmer is mounting, his resignation could prove to be a turning point for the Labour Party as it seeks to restore voters\u2019 trust. It is noted that, should he resign, Burnham could become the new leader unopposed, which would further complicate matters for Starmer.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041a\u0456\u0440 \u0421\u0442\u0430\u0440\u043c\u0435\u0440,
