On May 11th, The Guardian reported that several Cabinet ministers are urging Starmer to set a resignation timetable, with over 70 Labour MPs publicly calling for him to step down; Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood are also believed to be pushing for an orderly transition.

The Labour Party lost over 1,400 council seats in the English local elections, performed its worst in the Scottish Parliament elections since devolution, and lost control of the Welsh Parliament for the first time. Starmer has faced discontent for some time, exacerbated by the appointment of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the United States, the fallout from the Epstein files, and a security clearance scandal.

As of now, Starmer has not announced his resignation and has publicly stated he will fight any challenge. The Guardian reported that on May 11th, Starmer warned that if the Labour party descends into leadership election chaos, the country will not forgive Labour; he also stated he would prove both internal and external doubters wrong and continue to fight. Meanwhile, Catherine West did not formally announce a leadership bid later but instead turned to pushing for an "orderly transition" timetable.
