Cabinet ally fails to deny Keir Starmer is poised to quit TOMORROW as he reveals PM is 'reflecting on political realities' after Andy Burnham's thumping by-election win

Moderate-leaning outlets present the resignation report as one claim requiring verification, balancing the Observer's account with government denials and reporting both the mounting pressure on Starmer and his stated continued commitment to the role.

Conservative-leaning outlets emphasize the mounting political pressure and Burnham's by-election victory as evidence of weakening party support, with headlines leading on the resignation expectation and framing it as Labour turning against its leader.
