President Donald Trump appeared to scoop Downing Street on Sunday, announcing that Prime Minister Keir Starmer would resign before any public statement from Starmer himself.
“Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom,” proclaimed in a social media post, in which he also asserted that Starmer had “failed badly” on immigration and energy policy.
Then, Trump added: “I wish him well!”
Doubts about Starmer’s political future have swirled for weeks since his Labour Party suffered staggering losses in local elections in May, and prospects of a leadership challenge increased markedly on Friday after his most formidable rival, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, won a special election for an open seat in parliament.
Earlier on Sunday, British media had reported that Starmer was considering resigning. Still, Trump’s intervention represented an extraordinary foray into British domestic politics that left some veteran political observers stunned.
“There is literally no boundary this American president will not bulldoze through,” ITV’s Robert Peston wrote on X.
Peston also cited a cabinet minister who said that, despite Trump’s “scoop,” Starmer had “genuinely not made a decision to quit.”
Broadcaster Piers Morgan called it “the final humiliation.”

Yes, and it's glorious.
And he’s usually right!
What will this clown say when Trump (once again) gets proven right?
Why is it stunning, its pretty much known to everyone the prick is leaving, couldnt have happened to a nicer a-hole, too bad he messed up the country so much its too far gone
And it is glorious!
The PM tried to get a little boost by playing against us politically with Iran. Remember that?
Maybe Preston should think about that barrier which was plowed through.
For Trump, I’m sure this is one of those “good bye and good luck” moments where you smirk.
With the election of that guy, Starmer is done.
Rearranging the deck chairs on The Titanic.
BBC’s BEEBER IS STUNED!.....
I like the way President Trump is opening the front door at 10 Downing Street and pushing this Godless reprobate out onto the porch.
“Here’s your luggage, lorry’s waiting by the kerb.”
I’m sure the WEF has a Job opening for their used up hacks.
I heard this yesterday, but it wasn’t from President Trump. This is almost old news
How ironic that the UK, a country that takes away peoples free speech and punishes them for speaking the truth is saying that President Trump doesn’t have boundaries.
He does love his gossip.
DJT: “Sod off, wanker!”
Or...perhaps they are so enthralled in TDS over in the Labour camp, they will reverse course just to spite the President and keep Starmer around - maybe the President is wanting that for some reason.
As I read this to my wife, I said about the same thing to her.
It’s not exactly clairvoyance.
Starmer is going to resign. The only question is when
Burnham tried for the leadership before and was considered too extreme. Times change I guess.
Brits will be wishing for Starmer back after a while.
After a brief honeymoon, everyone will realize that he's Starmer #2.
“After a brief honeymoon, everyone will realize that he’s Starmer #2.”
Or likely worse.
