SIR KEIR STARMER was under increasing pressure today following Labour’s dismal election results across Britain, with socialists calling for an emergency party conference and MPs refusing to rule out a leadership challenge. 

The Labour leader continued to face heavy criticism for the party’s lack of vision ahead of Thursday’s polls, as well as over his own reaction to the results which emerged over the weekend. 

Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs secretary and former shadow cabinet member Richard Burgon MP called for a special party conference to address the party’s poor performance at the polls and to allow the leadership to outline its plans.
