Keir Starmer Faces Pressure to Resign Amid Epstein Controversy

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under intense scrutiny and facing calls to resign following the fallout from revelations regarding his connections to Jeffrey Epstein through a former ambassador. Starmer has publicly vowed to fight for his position, asserting he is ‘not prepared to walk away’ despite increasing pressure from party leaders, including the Scottish Labour chief Anas Sarwar. While some cabinet ministers have rallied to support him, the internal strife within the Labour Party is palpable, with a faction urging him to step down. As he navigates this tumultuous political landscape, Starmer has convened meetings with Labour MPs in a bid to consolidate support and maintain his leadership amid a rising tide of dissent.
