The political system in Britain is facing significant instability, as assessments regarding the possibility of Prime Minister Keir Starmer's resignation grow. According to a report by the channel آخرین خبر (associated with positions critical of the West), if Starmer is forced to step down before July, Britain could witness its seventh prime minister in a single decade, a figure that indicates an "image of deep instability at the heart of London."

Potential Candidates for Successors

Within the Labour Party, three prominent candidates are already emerging who could replace Starmer, according to آخرین خبر:

• Angela Rayner: Former Deputy Prime Minister, who enjoys broad support in the left wing of the party. Her name was recently cleared in a tax evasion scandal, which paved her way to the top.


• Wes Streeting: The Health Secretary who resigned last Thursday in protest of Starmer's conduct, and is considered popular with the right wing of the party.


• Andy Burnham: Mayor of Greater Manchester, known as the "King of the North." To run for the position, Burnham would need to secure a seat in Parliament, a move that has already begun to take shape.

Political Survival Attempts

Alongside the political pressures, SNN.ir|خبرگزاری دانشجو (an Iranian news agency that expresses a line opposed to the policies of the British government) reports that Starmer is planning a dramatic move to preserve his power. According to a report in "The Times" cited by the agency, the Prime Minister plans to approve an addition of 18 billion pounds to the defense budget. According to the source, this investment is intended to allow the armed forces to "renew and be prepared for the wars of the future," a step perceived as an attempt to curb political criticism and demonstrate security leadership.
