Starmer faces pressure ahead of key meeting as calls to resign grow; pound extends losses

Keir Starmer faces mounting pressure to resign as nearly 80 lawmakers call for his departure ahead of a crucial cabinet meeting. Despite his pledge to tackle challenges and strengthen ties with the EU, Labour's recent local election losses have intensified scrutiny of his leadership. The British Pound has also fallen below 1.3600 against the Dollar. Starmer's government struggles with economic growth and public service issues, compounded by controversial appointments and policy missteps. He warns of a dark future if the anti-immigration party Reform UK gains power.
