Over 70 Labour MPs call for Starmer's resignation after election rout

More than 70 Labour Party MPs have publicly called for the resignation of Prime Minister Keir Starmer following the electoral collapse the governing party suffered in last Thursday's local and regional elections. The count, which was rising hour by hour through Monday according to a tracker maintained by the specialist outlet LabourList, includes around ten parliamentarians who joined the pressure in the last 24 hours, alongside a trickle of resignations from government posts.
