Starmer Vows To Fight On And Cites Childhood Poverty Amid Resignation Pressure. Keir Starmer says he will “never walk away” from the country, after facing one of the most serious challenges yet to his leadership. The pressure intensified when Anas Sarwar called on him to resign, citing repeated mistakes in Downing Street. Several Labour MPs have also questioned his judgment, particularly over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US, following renewed scrutiny of Mandelson’s past links to Jeffrey Epstein. Speaking at a community centre in Hertfordshire, Starmer insists he remains focused on the cost-of-living crisis and says he will lead Labour into the next general election. He also reflects on his own upbringing, describing a childhood in which his family struggled to pay bills and his brother lived in what he called “virtual poverty”. The political system, he says, did not work for families like his. Starmer argues that experience drives his determination to stay in office and deliver change, rejecting claims from Kemi Badenoch that his leadership is fatally weakened.
