He wasn’t involved in Epstein. So he shouldn’t be forced to quit.
To listen to the Tory media anyone would think he’d been to Epstein Island
Good, I see no reason he should quit. The media are whipping up a storm here and you have to wonder why
He fired the guy who was involved with Epstein. The guy who recommended him is gone also. That should be that. I’m not a Starmer fan, but if we allow leadership changes to be forced through on such a weak basis then we’re not going to be much better off than we were under the Tories.
How is the Epstein story able to potentially bring down Starmer but not the royal family who repeatedly hosted Epstein, had at least one member actually linked to abuse and who spent our tax money covering it up?
The focus seems off
Why should he? I really don’t care about kier starmer and epstein. Of all the names in the epstein files somehow kier is the one getting 80% of the attention, why nkt spend this time demanding justice agaisnt those in the files like richard branson
There are people above Epstein trying to orchestrate this BS, why is he taking so much heat for this?
People love the drama of swapping PMs every couple of years and then moan there’s no long term planning.
Unless there’s proof Starmer had knowledge of the more nefarious aspects then I don’t see why he should go.
We do not have anyone who could possibly replace him. The idea of David Lammy or Angela Rayner negotiating with Trump over Greenland or something just gives me chills.
He’s not perfect but he’s literally the best we’ve got at this present moment and he’s being used as a scapegoat.
I dread to think what would happen if Starmer resigned. We would get some horrific replacement dredged up from the depths of the ultra left of the party that has zero chance of being re-elected. As unpalatable as some may find it, Starmer is the best the Labour party can do at the moment. Now there’s a thought.
Good. His whole schtick was ending the clown show of the Tories changing leader every 5 mins.
The media need to reflect on how their constant negative spin and active undermining destructive narrative is damaging for democracy and adult debate. It would be refreshing to see a headline which doesn’t contain ‘disaster, chaos, u turn, sacking, resignation, scandal, plunge etc’. How about some adult informed debate rather than hysterical clickbait headlines and baseless polorised opinion.
Guess Nigel should to. Since he approved with the appointment of Mandelson, and wanted to work with him.

We should implement a new political system; “PM for a week”, where everyone in the country has a pop.
I hope he doesn’t resign, if only to not continue the constant revolving door of PMs in the last few years
Journalists don’t like a calm and somber government, that doesn’t sell papers or get clicks. So they choose to rile up the public with fake nonsense issues and the public falls for it every time…..
Well at least until COVID happened.
Oh and don’t forget how much they have ignored Farage being in the files.
If our democratically elected Prime Minister is forced to resign because Mandelson was a creep, while the President of the United States remains in place and nobody can seemingly do anything about it, then…. *nothing makes sense any more*.
See also: Johnson not remembering what he did or said at a private party held by a KGB agent that he didn’t disclose his attendance to or care to document while being foreign fucking secretary. *And yet he was elected prime minister*.
Rules for thee but not for me.
Starmer is boring and lacks charisma but he is decent and honest. Why should he fall on a sword no-one else has fallen on for fifteen years?
Fuck off bots, you are right to be scared that we have an effective, none self-serving PM.
Does Starmer deserve criticism over appointing Mandelson when warned about his pervious history with Epstein? Yes. Should Starmer be forced to resign? No. I’d rather the Royal family abolished for their involvement with Epstein.
I think he should stay for two reasons. Firstly, he might have not known all the details but I believe he willingly put dodgy mandelson in place to deal with a dodgy American president. Mandelson wouldn’t have been US ambassador to Kamala’s administration. If you decide you’re going to keep America onside, you need someone trump can relate to. Reminder that hardly anyone not even Kemi said anything about Epstein when Mandelson was appointed. We have the benefit of hindsight now but it wasn’t so obviously a bad idea at the time.
Secondly, stability matters. If we’re going to have the same ideology, we might as well keep Starmer. I don’t think people’s lives would change if we change from Starmer to Streeting or Reeves or Lammy, they all broadly believe the same things and would be business and usual with minimal tweaks. Rayner would change more, but I don’t think the same people who voted Tory for 14 years and switched to Starmer can shift that far. Changing leader again just makes it more likely reform gets in and makes it more likely that our country just becomes ungovernable as you cant even be given more than a year create national change.
Good, best man for the job. Should excise the gremlins out the party tbh.
Good the British are fed up of changing pms who never finish a term
Why are there no calls for Farage to quit after Nathan Gill got caught taking bribes from Russia?
Nor should he resign, the media is clearly biased and is trying to push a right wing agenda.
Never like Starmer never will but this would be a stupid reason to quit.. total nonsense
Good.
How about we go after the actual nonces and traitors.
As much as I dislike Starmer, especially with how he’s screwed over trans folks, I don’t think he should be made to resign for this. There are a dozen other reasons to kick him out, but he wasn’t involved with Epstein.
Meanwhile, Nigel Farage both is in the files & admitted to being in the files. If anybody should be made to step down, let it be him & any other politician affiliated with that nonce.
For f___’s sake, he wouldn’t even denounce Donald Trump for being in the files.
Same old shit, get the PM to quit, tank the FTSE, make a killing shorting, why are people still falling for this?
He shouldn’t quit, he’s done nothing wrong. Why do the news keep trying to push him out – do we really want to go back to the musical chairs PMs from the previous government? I don’t!
He’s got no reason to quit tbh. Certainly leaders beforehand such as Johnson with party gate and such had far far more reason.
Media in ragebait mode basically
Farage is mentioned in the Epstein files. Starmer is NOT.
Has the whole world gone fucking mad?
He fired the guy with Epstein links and has since apologised for his lapse of judgement. He’s handled the situation calmly and sensibly and there’s no reason for him to quit, it’s not like he’s in the files, unlike a certain UK party leader.
It’s not great but I don’t see how we need a new PM over this. Transparency and a clear resolution will be good enough.
He is not personally implicated so there is no need for him to resign. Accept it wasn’t a good decision (which he has done) fire anyone who needs to be fired and lets continue the investigations
This announcement was paid for by the kremlin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Here it is again. Fuck right off. We’ve had enough of your rage bait shit stirring
