Keir Starmer faces intensifying pressure to resign as UK Prime Minister amid historically low approval ratings near negative 50 points in recent YouGov and Ipsos polls, driven by economic discontent and policy U-turns. Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar's February call for Starmer's departure, chief of staff Morgan McSweeney's abrupt exit, and minister Josh Simons' resignation over ethics issues have fueled leadership speculation, though Starmer vows to stay. MPs hesitate to launch a formal challenge—requiring 80 backers—amid an escalating Iran war providing wartime unity. Traders eye May local elections, where Labour risks losing over 2,000 council seats, as the pivotal catalyst that could tip sentiment toward a party revolt or snap leadership contest.
