Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar is reportedly set to urge Keir Starmer to resign as Prime Minister, marking the first major party figure to call on him to leave office.
Appearing at a press conference in Glasgow, Sarwar is expected to call on Starmer to go following the Peter Mandelson scandal which has called the PM’s judgment into question.
His intervention could pave the way for Cabinet ministers to weigh in on Starmer’s future after he insisted he would not be resigning in the wake of Morgan McSweeney’s departure from Downing Street.
Earlier, the Prime Minister’s press chief Tim Allan also resigned his post to ‘allow a new No10 team to be built’.
The former Tony Blair adviser had only been in the post since September and had pledged to help Starmer ‘turn the corner’ with a reset but senior Labour sources accused him of being ‘completely useless’.
