UK govenrment divided around Starmer as three junior ministers resign

UK PM Keir Starmer says he has no intention of stepping down despite mounting pressure. Dozen of Labour MPs have called for his resignation out of the 403 in Parliament, and three junior ministers have stepped down in protest. Several other ministers have also advised him to consider his position, including his Interior minister. The pressure to leave comes after Labour suffered disastrous local elections results last week.
