Daily Mirror: Starmer rejects early resignation, vows to stay UK PM

Keir Starmer has said he will continue leading the government in the coming years, despite calls for him to step down, according to an interview with The Daily Mirror.

“I’m not going to walk away from this, that would plunge the country into chaos. But that doesn’t mean we don’t need to respond. It doesn’t mean we don’t need to rebuild. It doesn’t mean that we don’t need to set out the path ahead. That’s what I’m going to do in the coming days,” Starmer stated.

The minister also went on to outline his broader vision for the country’s future, adding: “The hope wasn’t there enough in the first two years of this government. That’s why it’s important for me now to set out where hope resides. It resides in our young people having the future to go as far as their talent or ability will take them – to genuinely have that because if you’ve grown up in poverty, you don’t get that chance.”
