In the wake of disastrous results in local elections last week, a fifth of all members of the U.K. Parliament from Starmer's own Labour Party have now called on him to step down, and four members of his cabinet resigned Tuesday in an effort to force him to quit. Jess Phillips, the national minister for safeguarding; Alex Davies-Jones, minister for victims and tackling violence against women and girls; Zubir Ahmed, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health Innovation and Safety; and Miatta Fahnbulleh, minister for devolution, faith and communities, all announced their resignations on Tuesday.β¦
