SouthernWorldwide.com – Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly stated that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to resign from his position.
Trump made this declaration in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Sunday. He also extended his well wishes to Starmer.
However, Trump did not hold back in his criticism of the British Prime Minister. He specifically pointed to two key areas where he believes Starmer has failed.
“Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. He continued, “He failed badly on two very important subjects- IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!). I wish him well! President DJT.”
The former president’s remarks come amid reports suggesting that Starmer is contemplating his political future and might be considering stepping down.
Reuters reported on Sunday that Starmer was reportedly deliberating his future as Prime Minister. The outlet indicated that he might announce a timeline for his departure.
Sources cited by Reuters suggest that Starmer could make a decision as early as Monday regarding whether to resign or engage in a leadership contest. This potential challenge could come from Andy Burnham.
The Labour Party leader has not officially announced any intention to resign. However, the speculation surrounding his position has intensified in recent days.
Earlier reports indicated that Andy Burnham, who recently secured victory in a special election, is expected to be sworn in as a House of Commons lawmaker on Monday.
Despite the reports and Trump’s pronouncements, Starmer had previously stated his intention to contest any leadership challenge. He was quoted as saying, “If there is a contest… then yes I will run, I will stand.”
Starmer also took to X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday to post a message commemorating Father’s Day. “Being a dad is my greatest joy. Today, I’m thinking about my dad, and the father I am to my children because of him. Happy Father’s Day,” his post read.
The political landscape for Prime Minister Starmer has been complex. Reports have also surfaced linking Russia-backed arson attacks to properties associated with him, according to police statements.
The situation remains fluid, with ongoing speculation about the Prime Minister’s next steps amidst internal party discussions and external commentary from figures like Donald Trump.
