The Observer reported on Saturday that Prime Minister Starmer (Keir Starmer) is expected to announce his resignation on Monday and give an orderly timetable for his departure.

According to the report, after discussing with cabinet members, advisers, donors and trade union leaders, Starmer believed that his political foundation for staying in office was no longer solid and his position was "difficult to maintain". Discussions are being held with his wife at Chequers (Chequers), the prime minister's rural residence, and a number of senior Labor officials expect him to make a clear statement on his personal political future as soon as Monday.

A by-election was held in Meckfield, a British parliamentary constituency in northwest England. The Labor Party Mayor of Greater Manchester, Bayander, won a big victory and will return to the House of Commons, thus having the conditions to compete for the leadership of the Labor Party and paving the way for him to challenge Starmer's prime minister. The Times reported that a number of cabinet ministers will ask Starmer to set a timetable for his departure.
