Keir Starmer Faces Growing Pressure as Labour Leadership Crisis Deepens Labour MPs Push for Change After Election Losses British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing one of the toughest moments of his political career as pressure inside the Labour Party continues to grow. Several Labour MPs and ministers are now openly questioning his leadership after the party suffered major losses in recent elections across the UK. The political situation intensified after three government ministers resigned from their posts. Among them was Jess Phillips, whose departure added fresh pressure on Starmer’s government. Other resignations from ministerial aides have also increased concerns about unity within the party. Cabinet Divisions Continue to Grow During a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Starmer made it clear that he does not plan to step down as Labour leader or prime minister. He reportedly challenged critics inside the party to formally launch a leadership contest if they want to replace him. Despite criticism from many MPs, some senior ministers still publicly support Starmer. Housing Secretary Steve Reed and Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden both confirmed they continue to back his leadership. However, political observers noticed that Health Secretary Wes Streeting avoided commenting on the crisis as he left Downing Street. Many Labour members view him as a possible future leadership contender. At the same time, Foreign Office Minister Jenny Chapman admitted discussions about Starmer’s future are taking place inside government circles. Still, she said no cabinet minister directly challenged him during the meeting. More Than 80 MPs Call for Starmer to Quit The rebellion inside Labour has continued to grow. Reports suggest more than 80 Labour MPs have either demanded Starmer’s resignation or urged him to announce a timeline for leaving office. Senior figures, including Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, are also said to be encouraging the prime minister to consider an exit plan. Meanwhile, another group of more than 100 Labour MPs signed a statement asking colleagues to avoid a damaging leadership battle. They urged party members to remain focused on governing instead of creating more instability. Election Defeats Triggered the Crisis The current crisis began after Labour suffered heavy losses in local and regional elections last week. The party reportedly lost nearly 1,500 council seats across England. Labour also lost power in Wales and recorded its worst-ever performance in the Scottish Parliament elections. Those disappointing results raised serious concerns about Starmer’s popularity and leadership strategy ahead of future national elections. Political tensions also increased after criticism surrounding Starmer’s decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as the UK ambassador to the United States. Some Labour MPs questioned whether the move reflected poor political judgment. Possible Successors Already Being Discussed As pressure continues to rise, several names are being discussed as possible replacements for Starmer if a leadership contest begins. Alongside Wes Streeting, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner is considered one of the strongest potential challengers within the Labour Party. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham also has support among some Labour members. However, he would first need to become an MP before officially entering a leadership race. For now, Starmer remains in office, but growing resignations, internal divisions, and election setbacks continue to place his leadership under intense pressure.

Pentagon to Review Senator Mark Kelly’s Comments on US Weapon Stockpiles Hegseth Questions Kelly’s Statements on Military Munitions US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered a Pentagon review after Democratic Senator Mark Kelly spoke publicly about America’s military weapon stockpiles during a television interview. The issue has sparked a political clash over national security, classified information, and military readiness. During an interview on CBS News’ Face The Nation, Kelly expressed concern about the condition of US munitions reserves following the recent conflict with Iran. He said he was surprised by how much the US had reduced its military stockpiles during the war effort. Kelly referred to a Pentagon briefing that discussed specific munitions and replenishment timelines. His comments quickly drew criticism from Hegseth, who accused the senator of publicly discussing sensitive military information. Pentagon Asked to Review Possible Disclosure In a post on X, Hegseth questioned whether Kelly had violated his oath by revealing details from a Pentagon briefing. He criticized the senator for discussing the matter on national television and called for an official review of the comments. Kelly strongly rejected the accusation. He responded by saying the information was already discussed publicly during a Senate hearing held the previous week. The Arizona senator also shared a video clip from the hearing, pointing out that Hegseth himself had acknowledged it could take years to rebuild certain US weapon stockpiles. Kelly argued that his comments did not expose classified material. He added that the American public deserves transparency about the cost of military operations and the long term impact on US defense readiness. Legal Dispute Between Kelly and Pentagon Continues The latest controversy comes as tensions continue between Kelly and the Pentagon leadership. Earlier this year, Kelly filed a lawsuit against the government after Hegseth allegedly attempted to demote him for criticizing the Trump administration. The legal battle began after Kelly and five other lawmakers released a video in November encouraging US service members to refuse unlawful military orders. Pentagon officials later challenged the lawmakers’ actions, leading to a broader political and legal dispute. In February, a federal judge temporarily blocked the Pentagon from carrying out the proposed demotion while the lawsuit moved forward. However, the Pentagon appealed the ruling. Recently, a federal appeals court appeared likely to reject the Pentagon’s effort to punish Kelly over his remarks to service members. If the court rules against the Pentagon, it would mark another setback for the Trump administration in its ongoing dispute with the senator. Debate Over National Security and Transparency The disagreement has fueled debate in Washington over how much information elected officials should share about military preparedness. Supporters of Kelly say lawmakers have a responsibility to discuss defense concerns openly, especially when military operations affect national resources. Critics, however, argue that public discussions involving weapons inventories and defense capabilities could risk exposing sensitive national security information. The Pentagon has not confirmed whether a formal investigation has officially started. Officials have only referred back to Hegseth’s public statements regarding the matter.

AI needs a “brake pedal” to prevent unchecked growth, warns Anthropic co founder Key concern over fast AI progress Anthropic co founder Jack Clark has raised concerns about how quickly artificial intelligence is advancing. He warned that AI systems may soon reach a stage where they can improve and generate code with very little human involvement. Speaking to BBC Newsnight, Clark said the industry currently has strong momentum but lacks proper control mechanisms. He explained that the field is moving forward rapidly, but safety and governance tools are not keeping pace. Call for stronger regulation and oversight Clark stressed that governments and policymakers need to stay in control of AI development. He said future systems will become more powerful and will have wider effects on jobs, society, and decision making. He argued that regulation should give society the ability to slow down AI progress when needed. According to him, the goal is to ensure humans remain in charge of how these systems evolve. AI systems already writing most of their own code Clark revealed that Anthropic’s chatbot Claude already generates around 80 percent of its own code. He suggested that reaching full automation in coding could happen within two years, a shift he described as highly significant. Such progress, he warned, could reshape how AI companies operate and how software is built across the industry. Debate over government action and industry responsibility Despite these concerns, major AI companies, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, continue to advance their systems without pausing research. Clark noted that the US approach to regulation remains relatively flexible, with limited mandatory safety checks. He compared the situation to the early oil industry, where rapid growth eventually led to formal rules that helped stabilize the sector. He believes AI will require a similar framework to maintain public trust and reduce risks. Rapid growth and rising valuations Anthropic has expanded quickly since its launch five years ago. The company is now preparing for a public stock market listing, which could make it one of the most valuable tech offerings in history. Investors estimate its value could reach nearly one trillion dollars. Clark said the company’s public warnings are not about marketing or reputation. Instead, he said the aim is to share honest insights about how fast the technology is evolving inside leading AI labs.
