  • Starmer reiterates his commitment to leading the country and urges for support to avoid unnecessary leadership battles and maintain focus on governance.

According to the British leader, he "takes responsibility for the election result and for delivering the changes we promised."

Keir Starmer also publicly acknowledged that the last 2 days have been destabilizing for the UK government.

The Prime Minister decided not to hide the fact that this has real economic consequences for the entire country.

In light of recent events, Starmer recalled that the Labour Party has a procedure for challenging the leader — but no one has launched it.

The country expects us to continue to lead. That's what I'm doing, and that's what we must do as a government.
