Cabinet Ministers Rally Behind PM As Sarwar Urges Him To Quit. Senior cabinet ministers have closed ranks around Keir Starmer after Anas Sarwar publicly called on him to resign. In a dramatic press conference, Sarwar said the situation in Downing Street was “not good enough” and claimed too many mistakes had been made at the top of government. But as he spoke, senior Labour figures moved quickly to show their support for the prime minister online. Starmer has been under intense pressure following criticism of his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as UK ambassador to the US despite renewed scrutiny over Mandelson’s past links to Jeffrey Epstein. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said the party had faced a “moment of peril” but decided backing the leader was the right course, warning against the chaos of a leadership contest. Later, Starmer addressed Labour MPs in Parliament, receiving applause as he made clear he would not step down. He told colleagues he was determined to fight on and would not walk away from his mandate or plunge the country into instability.
