UK Junior Minister for Housing and Communities Miatta Fahnbulleh resigned from the government on Tuesday, a day after four political aides also stepped down. The resignations have added pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s leadership. In a post on social media platform X, Fahnbulleh urged Starmer to make the “right decision” for the country and the party, and called for a defined timeline for an orderly transfer of power.

Fahnbulleh, who represents the Peckham constituency in South London, shared her resignation letter along with the post. In the letter, she stated that while the government had made progress in some areas, it had failed to deliver the pace, ambition, and effective action expected under the public mandate for change. She further wrote that the public’s message was clear—Prime Minister Keir Starmer had lost trust and confidence.

The series of resignations has intensified scrutiny of Starmer’s leadership and raised questions about the government’s direction and internal unity.
