Political chaos in the UK, the king will give keynote speech

Junior Justice Minister Alex Davies-Jones has become the third member of the UK government to publicly call for the resignation of Prime Minister Keir Starmer. This was previously done by Jess Phillips and Miatta Fahnboulet.

The number of members of the House of Commons who spoke out against the head of government reached 86 people. To elect a new party leader, it is necessary that 20% of parliamentarians support a specific alternative candidate. In the current parliament there are 81 members, but the identity of a possible successor has not yet been agreed upon.

At the same time, more than 100 Labor MPs declared their support for the Prime Minister. “After the extremely difficult election results, we need to regain the trust of voters. Let’s focus on this. This is not the time to fight for leadership,” they said.

At this stage, no political heavyweights have come out against Starmer to consolidate his opponents. Many ministers came out in support of the head of government. However, it was previously reported that among the supporters of the transfer of power are Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper and Interior Minister Shabana Mahmud.

The grand opening of the parliament session will take place on May 13. King Charles III will address members of both houses with a speech outlining the government’s program of action for the next year. However, whether this government will be in power is unclear.
