# Four ministers have resigned as there are growing calls for UK prime minister Keir Starmer to resign following the Labour Party’s disastrous local election results. In his resignation letter, Health minister Zubir Ahmed said it’s clear the public has irretrievably lost confidence in Starmer. Communities minister Miatta Fahnbulleh, Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips, and minister for Victims and Tackling Violence against Women and Girls, Alex Davies-Jones, have also resigned. Starmer told his cabinet that the Labour Party has a process for challenging a leader, and that has not been triggered.
