LONDON: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday said he would fight in any leadership contest if a Labour lawmaker challenged him, saying he wouldn’t walk away from the problems that the country faces.
Starmer plans to use a speech on Monday to argue that he will “face up to the big challenges” and restore “hope” to the country.
That includes “putting Britain at the heart of Europe,” a decade after the UK voted to leave the EU, his office says.
But Starmer’s position is fragile, with dozens of lawmakers calling for him to announce a date for his departure.
