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 Reevesโ budget and the Peter Mandelson scandal being two of the pinnacle moments that prompted people to call for his resignation.
Morganโs call for Starmerโs 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 didnโt completely approve Mandelson. Starmer has stated that he did not know about Mandelsonโs failed vetting, but to many it has been the final nail in the coffin, including Piers.

Piers Morgan told Starmer to quit (Image: Getty)
Piers wrote on X: โIf I were Keir Starmer, Iโd quit now over the Mandelson scandal โ before the May local elections, which will be a historically humiliating repudiation of his entire agenda.โ
His post prompted an abundance of comments from his followers as one user raged: โ20 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.โ
Another wrote: โLabour are putting party and their cushy government jobs before country one of the things they relentlessly went after the tories for, hypocrisy at its absolute finest.โ
A third fumed: โHeโll cling on to power for as long as possible even though the inevitable will happen.โ
Starmer has shared his frustrations at the volume of people calling for him to quit, telling broadcasters on Thursday: โI think itโs very important to see whatโs going on here.
โLast week, my political opponents were saying that thereโs no way a civil servant wouldnโt have told me about the outcome of a developed vetting security exercise. Turns out my political opponents were completely wrong about that.โ
He added: โThen 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 why โ they are opposed politically to what this Government is trying to achieve.โ
