Keir Starmer would have communicated to his inner circle his intentions to resign.

The British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, is reportedly considering stepping down and preparing an orderly transition within the Labour Party, according to various British media outlets revealed this Saturday. The reports emerged amid a growing internal political crisis that increasingly undermines his leadership and fuels the succession dispute in Downing Street.

According to sources close to the government, Starmer has acknowledged to allies and members of his cabinet that the current political situation has become ''unsustainable'' and that he plans to set a timeline to leave office ''with dignity'' and on his own terms.

This information represents a stark contrast to the statements made by the Labour leader himself just days ago. In an interview published on May 10 by the ''Sunday Mirror'', Starmer stated that he would continue to lead the government throughout the term and asserted that he would head a ''process of national renewal'' in the long term to reverse what he described as ''a disastrous economic legacy''.

Starmer would have communicated to his close associates and remaining ministers that he plans to step down from his position soon.

However, in recent weeks, tensions within the Labour Party have increased, and criticism of the Prime Minister's leadership has grown. One of the hardest blows for Starmer was the resignation of Wes Streeting as Secretary of Health. Streeting also confirmed that he will seek to compete for the Labour leadership and aspires to become Prime Minister, thus deepening the internal dispute.

Another leader who appears as a potential successor is Andy Burnham, the current Mayor of Greater Manchester and a significant figure within Labour. Burnham seeks to return to Parliament through a by-election in the Makerfield district, a necessary step to formally launch a candidacy for national leadership.

The scenario has opened a fierce contest within the ruling party. While some factions believe that Starmer could still hold onto his position if the internal competition fragments, others believe that his leadership has already been seriously weakened after months of political difficulties and a significant drop in public support.

According to reports, Starmer's former chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, has advised him to resist and not announce an immediate exit. McSweeney believes that the Prime Minister still has room to survive politically if his potential rivals fail to consolidate or if Burnham fails in his attempt to return to Westminster.

Wes Streeting's surprising resignation from the cabinet was one of the most notable points of the crisis facing the Labour government.

Despite these efforts, the internal climate continues to deteriorate. Last Monday, Starmer attempted to regain the initiative with a speech in which he promised that the Labour Party ''will do things better''. However, the message did not succeed in halting the growing discontent within sectors of the ruling party.

The crisis worsened further after the departure of MP Josh Simons, who left his seat in Makerfield and publicly stated that Starmer ''has lost the country'' and should facilitate an orderly transition to new leadership. The vacancy opened a by-election that has now become a new focal point of political tension.

Although Makerfield has historically been a safe seat for Labour, party leaders fear strong competition from Nigel Farage and Reform UK, a right-wing party that seeks to capitalize on the weariness of both Conservatives and Labour.

Right-wing candidate Nigel Farage seeks to take advantage of the weakening of the Labour governor in key regions of the United Kingdom.

British analysts believe that a potential confirmation of Starmer's departure could trigger a complete reconfiguration of the national political landscape.

As speculation continues, the British government faces one of the most delicate moments since Labour came to power, with increasing internal divisions and a political uncertainty that threatens to further undermine the stability of the Executive.
