Welp.
Sir Keir might not want to go what he feels is prematurely.

Really, really doesn't want to go.
As in, they're going to have to drag him out, eventually.

But as mortal humans, we don't get to schedule 'eventually' at our convenience very often, and, as John wrote earlier, it doesn't look as if the British Prime Minister of little regard is going to have that courtesy allotted to him, either.
As it should be.
Even his chosen cabinet ministers have been falling by the wayside.

The Secretary of State for the Home Department, Shabana Mahmood, has been described as 'cracking on with the job' after calling for Starmer to step down last night.
Instead of suicide watch, she's on something known as 'resignation watch' (I guess because the PM's last name isn't 'Clinton,' or something).
Oh, tally ho!
Mahmood's spokesman said: "No. She is cracking on with the job"

There was a meeting of Starmer's cabinet this morning that, from all accounts, was rather tense.
NEW - Keir Starmer blocked all talk of election results and his leadership at today's Cabinet meeting.

He said he'd meet ministers individually afterwards if they wanted to talk about them.
He then REFUSED to meet 3 Cabinet Ministers and one advisor afterwards. pic.twitter.com/7iAz8tnz5s
But the Prime Minister did manage to school several regime stalwarts, inexplicably willing to go down with the wimp, on how to boost him to the press gathered outside.
And then out they all dutifully trotted to sing praises of Keir and to tell everyone to stop picking on a poor man who is just trying to do his job.
'Never seen this before'

Sky's political editor, @BethRigby, speaks to cabinet ministers outside Number 10 as they come out of a meeting with the Prime Minister - as dozens of Labour MPs urge Starmer to step down.
Latest: https://t.co/eJB3EVODMf pic.twitter.com/dxeY0a69TD
The Sky News political editor said she's never seen anything like it before. It's chaotic, robotic, and absolutely hysterical.
The number of Starmer's ministers who have resigned is now up to four, with the latest being the Health Minister.
Keir Starmer's position as prime minister has taken a further blow, as health minister Zubir Ahmed becomes the latest government minister to resign.
The first resignation of the day came from communities minister Miatta Fahnbulleh, who said in her letter to the prime minister that the country was crying out for change, but “the public does not believe that you can lead this change – and nor do I".
Several hours later, Jess Phillips announced she was leaving her role as safeguarding minister, telling Starmer that "deeds, not words matter".
Alex Davies-Jones soon followed suit, as she called for the prime minister to "act in the country's interest and set out a timetable for your departure".

The betting's heavy there are more resignations in the offing.

The number of Labour Members of Parliament (MPs) calling for Starmer to leave has passed the magic threshold for a leadership challenge, and now stands at 86, perhaps as many as 88.
The total number of Labour MPs calling for Starmer to resign or set out a timetable for his resignation has reached 86.
The latest appears to be MP Andrew Cooper, who in a statement says it is now "important for the Prime Minister to set out a clear and considered timetable for his departure".
While only twenty more have signed a 'Don't pick on Keir,' not because they like him - much more a question of self-preservation. It's a 'Now is not the time' letter, which I do not believe is getting any attention.
🇬🇧 103 Labour MPs signed a letter defending Starmer. 88 are calling for his resignation.

SQUANDERED is such a descriptive word for what Starmer's done in such a short period.
More than 80 MPs have called for Britain’s prime minister to quit. He has squandered the second-biggest majority in Parliament since the second world war https://t.co/owonMjbZmp
— The Economist (@TheEconomist) May 12, 2026
Oh, yeah - squander he did.
Starmer literally told the English people that migrants who reject speaking English, reject the Church of England, and reject much of English culture are the face of modern England. And he’s shocked that the English people rejected that reasoning? The man’s a political buffoon. https://t.co/e1sPcjt7gu

Dispencing with jury trials to 'save time.'

At the moment, Starmer's toadies are still busy canceling visas of dangerous right-wing agitators.

...I have never participated in any violence nor have I incited any violence. I have never been involved in any criminal activity in my life in Britain or any other country.
The only thing I’ve ever done is associate with Tommy Robinson and speak up for the forgotten people of Great Britain — people who have been crushed and victimized by a tyrannical Leftist regime.
So to President @realDonaldTrump and @VP JD Vance just know that when the soon to be ex Prime Minister Keir Starmer sat in the Oval Office and told you both Britain has free speech that he lied to your faces.
My apologies to the great @danwootton. I was very much looking forward to hosting your live show at the UTK march.
Yeah. About that 'squandered' business.
Two Tier Keir, straight to the bitter, squandiferous end, whenever it ends.
How it ends is going to be incredibly fugly.
