How Keir Starmer could be replaced as UK PM after discontent rises in his own party • FRANCE 24

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing a battle for his job after dozens of lawmakers from his own party called on him to step down in the wake of a resounding defeat for his center-left Labour Party in local elections last week. Those considered to harbor leadership ambitions include Health Secretary Wes Streeting, and former deputy prime minister Angela Rayner, who had to resign last year after acknowledging that she didn’t pay enough tax on a house purchase. Andy Burnham, the popular mayor of Greater Manchester, is widely perceived to be one of the strongest candidates.
