Newscast – Starmer says he’s staying.

Available for over a year.

Keir Starmer today said he would “continue to govern” despite pressure to resign from the Labor Party, adding another day. Four ministers resigned last Tuesday and more MPs called for the Prime Minister to step down. But no formal leadership contest has been sparked so far. Meanwhile, more than 100 members of Parliament have signed a statement in support of the Prime Minister, saying, “This is not the time for a leadership contest.” Adam, Chris and Alex Starmer ponder whether he can survive the pressure.
