Following Andy Burnham's big win in the Makerfield by-election, multiple cabinet members including Shabana Mahmood, Ed Miliband, and Heidi Alexander pressed Starmer to outline his departure plans.
Over 90 MPs have called for his resignation
since heavy local election losses, with prediction markets now showing a 59%
chance he's out by June 30.
Starmer defies the pressure, vowing to fight any contest, while Burnham positions himself as the frontrunner backed by around 200 MPs.
