In the latest development of the UK political crisis, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has firmly rejected calls for his resignation amid a scandal linked to Jeffrey Epstein, as reported by the Daily Times on February 10, 2026. Starmer declared to Labour MPs that he would not 'walk away' from his responsibilities, despite increasing pressure from within his party and the resignation of two senior aides, Tim Allan and Morgan McSweeney, as noted by Geo Business. The Guardian highlighted that the Labour leader's position appeared precarious after Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar publicly demanded his resignation, yet Starmer managed to rally some support, with Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham backing him while urging for more boldness and inclusivity in governance.
