Piers Morgan is the latest person to encourage Prime Minister Keir Starmer to step down from his role not even two years after he won over the UK in a General Election which saw the Labour Party have a landslide victory. Starmer has faced an abundance of backlash since his time in the office, with Rachel Reeves' budget and the Peter Mandelson scandal being two of the pinnacle moments that prompted people to call for his resignation.

Morgan's call for Starmer's exit comes shortly after a top civil servant claimed former Foreign Office chief Sir Olly Robbins had refused to share a vetting summary about Mandelson, where the UK Security Vetting agency didn't completely approve Mandelson. Starmer has stated that he did not know about Mandelson's failed vetting, but to many it has been the final nail in the coffin, including Piers.

Piers wrote on X: "If I were Keir Starmer, I’d quit now over the Mandelson scandal - before the May local elections, which will be a historically humiliating repudiation of his entire agenda."

His post prompted an abundance of comments from his followers as one user raged: "20 years ago he would have already been gone, but today politicians think they can wiggle with words out of anything and big part of why is that media is run by politics."

Another wrote: "Labour are putting party and their cushy government jobs before country one of the things they relentlessly went after the tories for, hypocrisy at it absolute finest."

A third fumed: "He’ll cling on to power for as long as possible even thought the inevitable will happen."

Starmer has shared his frustrations at the volume of people calling for him to quit, telling broadcasters on Thursday: "I think it's very important to see what's going on here.

"Last week, my political opponents were saying that there's no way a civil servant wouldn't have told me about the outcome of a developed vetting security exercise. Turns out my political opponents were completely wrong about that."

He added: "Then they said that I was dishonest. It turns out they were completely wrong about that. They are now putting any allegation they can and I will tell you for why - they are opposed politically to what this Government is trying to achieve."
