According to Reuters, the British newspaper The Observer reported that British Prime Minister Johnson is expected to resign on June 22 local time and announce his departure schedule. However, a government source said that currently, Johnson is still focused on fulfilling his duties.
Stamper’s position has been under threat for several months, and the situation escalated sharply on the 19th. On that day, his rival, Andy Burnham, who is the mayor of Greater Manchester, won the by-election for the seat of Markfield, returning to the House of Commons. This gives him the opportunity to participate in the competition for the position of Labour Party leader and also to vie for the Prime Minister’s post.
"Observer" reported that Stammer had discussed the matter with his wife at Chiks Farm before making the final decision. Labour Party high-ranking officials expect him to issue a clear statement by the 22nd.
However, a government source said that Stamer is still focused on his job, and noted that Stamer has previously stated this.
On the 19th, Starmer stated that he would address any challenges to leadership, and urged the Labour Party not to split due to internal strife.
Reuters noted that if Sturmer resigns or is removed from office, it would mean that the country will have its seventh prime minister in nearly a decade. This represents the highest frequency of changes in the prime minister in nearly two centuries in Britain, reflecting public anger over successive governments' failure to improve public services and address issues such as illegal immigration. According to statistics, more than 100 elected members of Sturmer's party have openly expressed their desire for him to resign or for a clear timeline for his departure. This number represents about a quarter of the total number of Labour Party members in the House of Commons.
The Observer did not disclose the source of information, stating that Stamer had concluded after talking with cabinet ministers, advisors, donors, and union leaders that his position could no longer be maintained.
It is reported that 56-year-old Bernham is seen by many Labour party members as the most likely successor to Stommer. Bernham did not immediately challenge Stommer formally, but promised in his victory speech to pave a new path for the country.
