# Britain’s Observer newspaper said prime minister Keir Starmer was expected to resign on Monday and set out a timetable for his departure, though a government source said Starmer remained focused on getting on with the job of governing. The threat to Starmer’s position, which has been building for months, increased sharply on Friday when his rival Andy Burnham won a seat in parliament that would allow him to launch a formal leadership challenge. The British leader said on Friday he would fight any challenge to his leadership and urged Labour not to tear itself apart with infighting.
