Starmer faces calls to quit: “Step aside or give No 10 to Nigel Farage,” says former Labour adviser

Growing pressure is mounting on the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer to resign following his party’s poor performance in last week’s local elections. Nearly 90 Labour MPs are calling for him to step down, while several members of his cabinet have resigned. At the same time, 110 Labour MPs have signed a statement backing him. In the face of all that pressure, Starmer is arguing his resignation would usher in chaos for the country. France 24’s Monte Francis is joined by Matthew Torbitt, former Labour adviser and political commentator, to discuss. Produced by Fanny Dassie, Guillaume Gougeon and Emmanuel Miculita
