A growing number of Labour MPs are reportedly calling for Sir Keir Starmer to resign or set out a timetable for his departure following the party’s poor election results last week.
According to a LabourList, 88 Labour MPs are now backing calls for the Prime Minister to step down or clarify his future plans.
None of the four Labour MPs representing constituencies in Renfrewshire and the surrounding area have publicly joined those calls.
Alison Taylor posted a message backing the Prime Minister on social media.
She wrote: “It’s wrong not to back the Leader. Just wrong. This is not the way to go about such matters. Keir needs supported by his team. Not have the knives turned on him.”
She added that Sir Keir Starmer “was elected on a five-year mandate to change, protect, defend, enrich our United Kingdom”.
No public statements calling for his resignation or a timetable for his departure have been made by Johanna Baxter, Blair McDougall or Martin McCluskey.
