Trump claims that Starmer will resign: “Wish him well”

US President Donald Trump claims that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will resign, reports Sky News.

“I wish him well”, writes Trump on Truth Social.

Starmer is under heavy pressure and according to information in the British press, the Prime Minister is said to be ready to leave the post, although no announcement has yet been made. According to information to both the Observer and the Telegraph, an announcement could come as early as Monday.

At the same time, Sky News reports that Starmer has not yet decided what announcement he will make.

A source who is said to be close to the Prime Minister says that they hope that Starmer chooses to fight on instead of throwing in the towel.

– I hope he fights, because he should. But I will stand behind whatever decision he makes, and it is a decision that he is still making, says the source.

Reports: Foreign Secretary urges Starmer to resign

UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has called on the hard-pressed Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign over the weekend, according to information to Sky News.

British media such as The Observer and The Telegraph have reported over the weekend that Starmer is ready to resign and that the announcement could come on Monday.

Starmer himself has not commented on the reports and is spending the weekend at his Chequers holiday home. In his latest post on X on Sunday, he wished his followers a happy Father's Day.

Minister: No reason to believe that Starmer will leave

Keir Starmer's days as Prime Minister may be numbered and this weekend's information in the British press is that the Labour leader could resign as early as Monday.

Business Secretary Peter Kyle says that he had a "frank" conversation with Starmer on Friday and that he believes the Prime Minister is spending the weekend thinking through the situation.

- I have no reason to believe that they are true. I see a lot of speculation out there, Kyle says of the information about Starmer's planned departure, according to Reuters.
