In the UK, Minister for Religious Affairs and Communities Miatta Fanbulleh resigned and publicly called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign.
Sky News writes about this.
Miatta Fanbulleh has announced her resignation as the UK government's Minister for Religions and Communities, becoming the first minister to leave the government at this stage of the political crisis. Her decision comes amid a series of resignations of government aides that took place the day before.
In a letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Fanbulleh said that, while proud of the government's achievements, it is not showing enough “vision, pace and ambition” to deliver on its mandate for change.
She emphasized that the country faces serious challenges and that society expects rapid and large-scale reforms. According to her, the public no longer believes in the ability of the current leadership to ensure these changes.
Fanbulleh also stated that she did not share confidence in the prime minister's leadership and called on him to begin an orderly process of transferring power to ensure the formation of a new government team.
After her resignation, 3 more ministers resigned, and 87 Labour MPs publicly called for the Prime Minister to resign. But on the other hand, more than 100 Labour MPs signed a statement expressing their desire to keep Starmer.
At the same time, Starmer said that the procedure for challenging his leadership of the Labour Party had not been officially launched. According to him, despite the political tension after the election results, the government must continue to work and govern the country.
After British election defeat, Labour calls for Starmer's resignation
Recall that in the local elections on May 7, the Labour Party lost more than 1,460 seats in English councils. In contrast, the right-wing populist party Reform UK, led by Eurosceptic Nigel Farage, significantly strengthened its position. Starmer said that the party “made unnecessary mistakes,” but promised to remain in office.
However, after this, Labour Party MPs called on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign.
