UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is reportedly planning to announce a timeline for stepping down, according to media reports. The move comes after growing pressure from senior members of the Labour Party. Sources said Starmer believes the current situation is no longer sustainable and wants to leave on his own terms. Some allies have advised him to wait until the Makerfield by-election results are clearer. Internal tensions increased after several resignations and criticism from within the government. Reports also suggest Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is preparing to return to Westminster, adding to pressure for a leadership change in Labour.
