Following substantial losses for the Labour Party in Thursday’s local elections in parts of England and the devolved nations elections, a growing number of labour MP’s are calling for the Prime Minister to go.
Joining the growing list is Markus Campbell-Savours MP for Penrith and Solway who only had the Labour Party whip returned in March after sitting for a time as an independent MP after rebelling against the government, said today: “I have listened carefully to the Prime Minister’s speech. Sir Keir Starmer is a decent, principled, and kind man. But his leadership is not working, and it is with genuine regret that I say so. His position is now untenable, and colleagues should have the courage to say publicly what many have said privately for months.
“Loyalty matters. Loyalty to him, to the Party and to each other. But today loyalty lies with our elected members across the country and with the 1,500 who lost their seats last week. It does not lie in maintaining a course that is not commanding confidence.
“What the Party needs now is leadership with a credible vision for the country, a clear sense of direction, purpose, and ambition. Those skills exist within our ranks, and I am confident we can find a leader who has them.”
