During Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs), Kemi Badenoch, the Minister for Equalities, made a bold statement suggesting that Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer should resign. Badenoch referenced a petition calling for a general election, which has gained traction and support online. The petition stems from growing dissatisfaction with Starmer’s leadership within the Labour Party.
In a heated exchange during PMQs, Badenoch highlighted the lack of confidence in Starmer’s ability to lead the party to victory in the next general election. She argued that the petition reflects the sentiments of many within the Labour Party who believe that a change in leadership is needed to secure a better future for the party.
Starmer, who has faced criticism for his handling of various issues, including internal party disputes and policy decisions, has yet to respond to Badenoch’s comments. The call for his resignation comes at a critical time for the Labour Party, as they strive to regain public trust and support.
The petition calling for a general election serves as a clear indicator that there are concerns within the Labour Party about Starmer’s leadership and the party’s direction. As the debate over his leadership continues, it remains to be seen how Starmer will address the growing calls for change within his own party.
