The announcement comes after Durham Police launched an investigation into an April 2021 event where Starmer was photographed drinking beer and eating takeaway food with staff. While Starmer maintains that no rules were broken during the campaign event, he emphasized his commitment to political integrity by promising to step down if found to have violated the law.

Sir a traitor 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I sincerely think he should go because he is against British value.
Hopefully we won't have to hear that tired old repetitive mantra of his, ' Let me be clear, ' anymore ! He needs a new script writer, the current one just doesn't make it any longer! 😮
How in the world Peter Kyle could say such rubbish " he always puts the country first" wow! Delusional statement!
Sincerely hope the next pm will stop supporting ukraine and putting everyone here in danger, without even explaining the potential consequences to a gullible and mostly naive population
Please don’t quit for Keir Starmer, we want him to stay!
Yeah, tomorrow he's scheduling meeting three months from now to decide upon a procedure for the activation of the resignation mechanism.
Get ready for a year or so of soft touch interviews for Burnham and his cabinet from the BBC where nothing they say is challenged, before they turn on him and he gets replaced, and repeat
Absolutely not, you don't get to leave. The freight hasn't been paid. Destroying a nation doesn't get a hall pass. All of his ilk must be fish food
Ungovernable country
Starmer needs to be tried for TREASON
He approves conquest by demographics change .
We are one step closer to all Labour and Tory MPs being in handcuffs ✌🏻
Should go straight to jail if there was any justice int the world.
Unfortunately, the next guy won’t be there as long as Kier Starmer. Doubt the next guy will last 2 years like Starmer. But…what got me was that Starmer was the first leader to visit Trump and brought him a ‘royal invitation’ as a bribe. Then most of the other weaklings followed
Starmer. What did that get Starmer. Insults to Great Britain. Insults to your soldiers. Insults to Starmer himself. Unfortunately, GB has a lot of problems first & foremost stemming from Brexit. It has cost GB jobs, reduced GDP and increased inflation.
Another year, another British prime minister.
Starmer is a disgrace. He should resign and get out of politics forever.
Starmer to resign ——
The brits didn't like Theresa May, didn't like Boris Johnson, didn't like Liz Truss, didn't like Rishi Sunak, and now Starmer is on way out? The rate at which they are changing their leaders soon UK will need a township in London to accommodate the ex-PMs.😊
Trump had expressed his dislike for Starmer.
Starmer has been navigating wisely on all issues , taking into account the internal economic/social conditions and the geopolitical scene. He was taking UK away from never ending USA warmongering/dirty geopolitical games. He differed on Ukraine, board of peace, iran bombing etc. with Trump, though many think he did help USA, not openly. I think he was working on UK first and Trump wanted him to continue being with US in dirty games as has always been the case in the past.
May be USA inflicting a regime change in UK.
It's quite simple really. The lesson is, don't prioritise foreigners over your own country.
Strange that any PM should have to be told that?
Puts his country first I don’t think so ,but let’s not kid ourselves not much is going to change while labour are in charge ,burnham says one thing then will do another ,
👏 get rid.
Plus the presenter was awful.
even a dog would have beaten conservatives, but I am not sure what do they have against the way he governs. Like people that voted tory would ever vote labour. They just obstained or only changed their vote for reform today. If he levaves than he is barking mad and crazy. They decided to replace him and ity might have proven the best decision ever. It certainly looks like on the paper.
Why doesn’t he just GO! STARMER has entered into terrible decisions, from Net 0 – Chagos. He let us down so badly. We have a worldwide deals has cost us £Billions with deals detrimental toUK.
ZERO will change it won't stop the boats because it would cause a trade war with Europe and it won't stop the institutional rascism against white indigenous people it's endemic within the system.
Looks like the only thing UK produces now is a new PM once in 2 years
Why is Trump commenting? It none of his business, he's not president of the UK. As similar noted by the Italian PM, Trump should keep out of other country's politics. Time for Trump to concentrate on fixing his own disasters. It's up to the labour party to get this situation sorted out, especially as the British voters of Britain's Markerfield made a decision as to who comes next.
Mediocre UK. From may, johnson, truss, sunak to starmer, the world is laughing at tis silly nation which claims greatness over its subjects in the past. Brits & americans…they are the same pathetic jokers…
UK has become Islamic Nation
Oh dear God, *mer bound for the Lords? Another Taxpayer's salary and pension to pay for abject failure.
Don't do it Sir Keir. Stay the course. Do Not Give In.
Starmer and Burnham, two sides of the same coin. Don't expect a change for the better.
'meet the new boss. same as the old boss'
TRUMP is always right
Good riddance 👏 hopefully the bbc is not far behind! 🎉
Two years too late.
“SIGNS that PARTS of the public sector MIGHT be improving..”
They can't even get the news rite shortest serving printer was Liz trust
Please don't raise my hopes up. He is not going anywhere. I have been disappointed about his departure many times.
Andy Burnham is just as bad, all corrupt and a bunch of hypocrites all in it for themselves and couldn’t give a monkeys about the hard working British people
Traitor
People make the goverment not the goverment make the people .People voted Trump to make America great again
Labour is not fit for duty – they all need to go. They have failed us in the past, present and will in the future.
The timetable is simple – how long does it take to walk to the door?
I'll believe it when I see it. You guys have been here so many times…
The most hated and ignorant of British PM's!
