As of today, Saturday, May 9, 2026, 6pm the number of Labour MPs calling for Keir Starmer’s resignation or for him to set a firm timetable for his departure has grown rapidly following devastating local election results.

​Current reports indicate that at least 37 Labour MPs have publicly called for him to step down or announce his exit strategy.

​The Current Situation
​The pressure on the Prime Minister reached a boiling point after the May 7 local elections, where Labour lost more than 1,400 council seats and control of over 25 councils.

​Growing Rebellion:
The number of dissenters rose from 30 to 37 within just a few hours today.
​Key Figures: High-profile names among those calling for change include Louise Haigh (who suggested he name a departure date), Clive Betts, David Baines, and Paula Barker.

​Ultimatum:
Some MPs, such as Catherine West, have explicitly "put the Cabinet on notice," threatening to gather signatures to trigger a formal leadership contest by Monday morning if no front-runner emerges to replace him
