Starmer's allies scurry around him amid calls for his resignation - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
""The distraction needs to end and the leadership in Downing Street has to change. That's why the distraction needs to end, and the leadership in Downing Street has to change... We cannot allow the failures at the heart of Downing Street to mean the failures continue here in Scotland. I have to be honest about failure wherever I see it - the situation in Downing Street is not good enough.""
""Keir Starmer won a massive mandate 18 months ago, for five years to deliver on Labour's manifesto that we all stood on. Rebuilding Britain takes time. But thanks to the decisions we've made NHS waiting lists are falling. Inflation is falling. Interest rates are falling. The conditions for the economy to grow are there. With Keir as our Prime Minister we are turning the country around. Keir led our party to victory and won a mandate for change.""
Anwar Sarwar called on Sir Keir Starmer to resign as Prime Minister amid the Peter Mandelson scandal, insisting that Downing Street leadership must change. Sarwar said the distraction must end and warned that failures at the heart of Downing Street risk strengthening the SNP in Scotland. Sarwar described a genuine friendship with Starmer but insisted on being honest about failures and mistakes. Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy, Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Communities Secretary Steve Reed publicly defended Starmer, citing his electoral mandate and improvements such as falling NHS waiting lists, inflation and interest rates.
