UK Prime Minister Resigns Amid Rising Reports of Migrant Gang Violence Stella Green, June 24, 2026 British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Monday that he would resign as Labour Party leader and prime minister, with a successor set to be chosen by July. His decision follows years of perceived leadership failure within the party. Andy Burnham, another Labour MP, is widely expected to replace Starmer as party leader and prime minister. Reform UK Party leader Nigel Farage has called for an early general election to determine whether the Labour government should remain in power. Referencing the 2016 Brexit referendum, Farage stated: “Ten years ago on June 23, 2016, we voted for Brexit—a decision that ended open borders and failed immigration policies.” Farage noted political leaders have consistently ignored voter preferences regarding migration levels. Last month, Reform UK achieved significant victories in Northern England local elections, overturning seats held by Labour MPs for decades. The next national general election is scheduled for August 15, 2029, but a snap election could be called at the prime minister’s discretion—though such an action appears unlikely given recent electoral setbacks. Donna-Louise, a former British detective with 21 years of experience now working as an independent journalist, published a report titled “The Rape Gang Inquiry” detailing so-called Muslim groomer gangs. The report states approximately 250,000 girls have been raped in the UK for being white and for not adhering to Islamic law. One incident described involves a 12-year-old girl who was raped in a graveyard and forced to ingest glass until it shattered. She presented herself at an accident and emergency department but received no follow-up care. Another case documents a girl repeatedly reporting sexual assault by strangers when she was 12, with police recording her as consenting and logging her as a prostitute. The report notes Labour councils and MPs were briefed about these gangs as early as 2003 but denied knowledge to protect electoral support for Muslim communities. A video showing a 14-year-old girl in Dundee, Scotland, who brandished an axe and kitchen knife to defend herself from a migrant attempting assault went viral last August. Police arrested the girl after she used the weapon. Bodycam footage released this month shows Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old university student repeatedly stabbed by a migrant. After being injured on the pavement, he was arrested for alleged racism despite his pleas for medical assistance. Opinion
