The Times of London reported Friday evening that several members of the UK government plan to tell Prime Minister Keir Starmer that his "time is up" and that he should set a timeline for his departure, according to a single-source report. Separately, associates of Andy Burnham told Sky News that Burnham "expects to enter the prime minister's office in September." The reports, both originating from British media outlets, suggest growing pressure within the Labour Party for a leadership transition. Neither Starmer's office nor Burnham's team has publicly commented. The developments come as Starmer's government faces internal dissent over policy direction and electoral strategy.
