Trump\u2019s claim was echoed by some British commentators,with Piers Morgan calling it a \u201cfinal humiliation\u201d. Even though Starmer did not respond directly, some of his allies, like Peter Kyle, indicated he was contemplating his <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >future amid declining political confidence<\/a>. Multiple Labor Party officials and MPs suggest that Starmer\u2019s position is untenable and that a leadership change is overdue, with considerations that a new leader like Andy Burnham might be favored. Calls for a clear timetable for Starmer\u2019s departure are growing, and discussions reflect concerns about ongoing political instability and the need for new leadership to better <a

Prime Minister Keir Starmer was not even able to be the first to announce his own resignation \u2013 President Donald Trump beat him to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom,\u201d Trump posted Sunday on <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116788451975276121\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe failed badly on two very important subjects- IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!)\u2026 I wish him well!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well-known British newsman Piers Morgan called Trump\u2019s post \u201cthe final humiliation\u201d for Starmer, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2026\/06\/21\/trump-declares-british-pm-will-resign-starmer-has-not-said-anything\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Post noted that Trump was not in touch with Starmer over the weekend, but said Trump appeared to be on target.<\/p>\n<p>A senior Labour Party MP the Post did not name said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chinese-communist-party-database-leaks-proves-party-members-have-infiltrated-foreign-governments-and-major-companies\/\" title=\"Chinese Communist Party Database Leaks, Proves Party Members Have Infiltrated Foreign Governments and Major Companies\">party members<\/a> were \u201cbeing briefed that [Starmer] will step down tomorrow and that he realizes his position is untenable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-apitype=\"text\" data-contentid=\"UIZ2DYXX6NHJBP2KDBMJ3Q3TAQ\" data-el=\"text\" data-scroll-pos=\"8\" data-scroll-measured=\"true\">The source said Starmer is aware he \u201cno longer has the confidence\u201d of his peers and that it has become \u201conly right that he now steps aside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Starmer did not fire off a reply to Trump, Peter Kyle, a Starmer ally in the prime minister\u2019s Cabinet, did not project strength as he discussed Starmer\u2019s future with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cn8k1my75gno\">BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Starmer, Kyle said, was \u201ctaking the time to think through what the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-house-passes-bill-allowing-gun-owners-to-carry-guns-without-a-permit\/\" title=\"Texas House Passes Bill Allowing Gun Owners To Carry Guns Without A Permit\">political realities<\/a> are today, compared to last week and the week before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said that that \u201cevery decision he makes today\u201d about the future of the Labor Party would be focused on \u201cwhat\u2019s in the best interests of the country\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle said he would not \u201cbe delusional that there is no process\u201d and \u201cno forces at work\u201d challenging Starmer, whose political future began looking dark after Labour rival Andy Burnham was the Makerfield by-election last week.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple Labour Party officials and legislators have urged Starmer to lay out a timetable for his departure.<\/p>\n<p>Jess Phillips, among four ministers who quit when the tide of election results began to go against Starmer in May, said, \u201cIt feels like we\u2019ve come to the end of the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Britain needs a change \u201csooner rather than later,\u201d Labour MP Justin Madders said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/politics-latest-burnham-starmer-labour-makerfield-by-election-12593360\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sky News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He said it is reasonable that Starmer takes time to think.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s clear to me though from the briefings we\u2019ve been getting from cabinet ministers, from the lack of certainty and punch from the statements we\u2019ve been getting from Number 10, that he is seeing that his political authority is draining away and that it is time to move on,\u201d Madders said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that \u201cit\u2019s probably better for the country\u201d if there was a \u201cnew leader in place sooner rather than later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I wonder whether, given all the indicators are that Andy Burnham would win any contest, whether other candidates feel it might be in the public\u2019s interest and the country\u2019s interest to accept that outcome before we spend several months on our leadership contest which might be rather a distraction from running the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight:
