U.S. President Donald Trump announced on social media that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will resign, highlighting Starmer’s disastrous record on immigration and energy, even as UK officials scramble to deny any resignation.
U.S. President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Sunday to boldly predict that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will resign, citing the Labour leader’s catastrophic failures on immigration and energy policy. Trump’s timely comment comes as speculation mounts in the United Kingdom, with many expecting Starmer to announce his departure as early as Monday, following widespread dissatisfaction with his leadership.
Trump’s post, though not citing a specific source, reflects the growing sense that Starmer’s government is collapsing under the weight of its own incompetence. Britain’s PA Media noted that Trump and Starmer have not spoken since their meeting at the G7 summit in France earlier this week, suggesting that Trump’s insight comes from his keen understanding of political realities rather than insider information.
A Downing Street spokesperson, clearly on the defensive, pointed CNN to Starmer’s vague statement from Friday, in which the prime minister claimed he remains focused on his duties but failed to address the mounting calls for his resignation. Business Secretary Peter Kyle told the BBC that Starmer was considering “political realities” over the weekend and would act in the country’s best interests—an admission that change may be imminent.
No official confirmation of a resignation has been made, and the White House has yet to comment. Meanwhile, UK media continue to report on the likely leadership shake-up, with speculation that former Manchester mayor Andy Burnham—a figure from Labour’s left—could step in as a replacement, raising further concerns about the direction of the country.
