Despite mounting pressure from nearly 80 of Labour’s 403 MPs demanding Starmer’s resignation following disappointing local election results, no official leadership challenge has yet been triggered. Forest of Dean MP Matt Bishop openly declared his withdrawal of support for Starmer, citing both election setbacks and concerns from constituents as reasons for his stance.
