UK's Starmer promises to be bolder to try to rescue his job

Prime Minister ​Keir Starmer promised to be bolder to turn around Britain's fortunes, making an impassioned plea to both his Labour Party and voters on Monday to stick with him and avoid a leadership contest he said would only bring chaos. Speaking at a community centre in London, Starmer all but admitted he had been too timid in tackling the myriad of problems besetting Britain since he won a ​large majority in 2024, and ‌said he took responsibility for one of the worst defeats for Labour in last week's elections.
