Keir Starmer

This is an extremely serious moment for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. According to the BBC, every action and statement he made throughout the day shows that he and his team deeply understand the gravity of the situation.

The BBC notes that the British Prime Minister has chosen not to deliver the speech he had planned this morning, February 5, on government funds and initiatives, apologizing publicly to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and admitting that he had "believed Peter Mandelson's lies" and appointed him to the United Kingdom's highest diplomatic post.

Most significant was the moment when, when asked by reporters, Starmer admitted that he understood "the anger and frustration of Labour MPs."

It is those very MPs who will decide the fate of the prime minister, and now they are angrier than ever under Starmer's leadership.

Labour MP Rachael Maskell, who has often been critical of his social policies, said she sees the prime minister's position as "untenable" and that it is "inevitable" that he will resign.

"I don't think there is any choice. He kept secret from Parliament for months the fact that he knew about the links between Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein at the time of his appointment. That was dishonest, both to MPs and to Epstein's victims," ??she told BBC Radio York.

Another Labour MP, who did not want to be identified, told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I don't know how it can go on..."

Current ministers acknowledge that the situation is beyond the government's control and could go in any direction.

Yet, despite the secret anger, very few MPs are publicly calling for the prime minister's resignation. Those who do have usually not been strong supporters of his leadership.

Very few are also publicly calling for the dismissal of the chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, whom Starmer has resisted removing, even though he had insisted on Mandelson's appointment.

This shows that, despite the weakening of Starmer's position at present, there is not yet an open challenge to him.

One MP stressed that something like this could only happen after elections in May in Scotland, Wales and some local authorities in England.

A former minister added: "I think it is very unlikely that anyone will act before May, but everything is moving very quickly. I don't know how the prime minister can recover from the extraordinary mistake of appointing Mandelson."

"He's finished. It's just a matter of time," said another minister.
