President Trump on Sunday joined in the widespread speculation about the fate of United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer after another damaging electoral setback.

There is reporting in the British press that Starmer is pondering a resignation this week while in the English countryside and could announce an exit as early as Monday.

However, other reporting, also based on unnamed sources, is that Starmer remains steadfast about not resigning, a position he’s taken since his Labour Party lost hundreds of seats in local elections last month across England, Scotland and Wales.

Last week, party rival Andy Burnham won a House of Commons seat, putting him in position to challenge Starmer. Burnham gets sworn-in Monday, which could allow the prime minister time to resign, amid internal pressure from his party, before having to face a challenge he could likely lose, then be ousted.
