2026 Labour Party leadership crisis

In 2026, a leadership crisis emerged within the British Labour Party amid public and internal party dissatisfaction with Keir Starmer, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, and his government. Labour's poor results in the local elections in May 2026 and discontent over policy led to calls for Starmer to resign as leader, and to the resignation of several members of the government, including Health Secretary Wes Streeting on 14 May.
