UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing a serious threat of losing his position within the coming months, Sky News reports.

Two senior Labour MPs told the outlet that Starmer could be removed as Prime Minister within months.

The lawmakers suggested that if the government continues to underperform, Starmer may be forced to resign.

Starmer has already been warned

Sky News deputy political editor Sam Coates reported that his sources — a government minister and a prominent politician — have "put Sir Keir Starmer on notice" that if Labour performs poorly in next May’s elections in Wales, Scotland, and London, it could signal the end of his time at Downing Street.

"The level of unhappiness and despair in parts of the Labour Party is so striking that right now, on the first anniversary, I am hearing from ministers in government that Starmer might have to go in months," Coates added.

Notably, Keir Starmer is an active supporter of Ukraine. On March 2 of this year, the Prime Minister announced the formation of a Coalition of the Willing.

Following a meeting of the coalition, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that French and British troops would be among the first to arrive in Ukraine. According to Zelenskyy, these countries are the leading representatives of the European continent.
