Media reports suggest that British Prime Minister Johnson is preparing to step down, but official sources say he remains focused on his duties.

The British newspaper The Observer reported that Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to announce his resignation on Monday and disclose his departure timetable; however, a government insider said that Starmer is currently focused on governing. Starmer's position as prime minister has been under pressure for months, and the situation took a dramatic turn on Friday when his rival, Andy Burnham, won a seat in parliament, qualifying him to launch a formal challenge for the party leadership. The Observer reported that Starmer is discussing the matter with his wife at their country residence, Chequers, and will make a final decision after the discussion; senior members of the Labour Party generally expect him to make a clear statement regarding his future on Monday at the earliest. However, a government source said that Starmer remains focused on his job, citing his previous public statements reaffirming the same position. The British prime minister said on Friday that he will face all challenges to his position and urged the Labour Party not to split due to internal conflicts. Over a hundred elected Labour Party members have publicly stated their hope that Starmer will resign voluntarily or provide a departure timetable.
