Labour MP Angela Rayner announced that HMRC has cleared her of any deliberate wrongdoing in the investigation of her stamp‑duty underpayment, which previously forced her to resign from the government.

US Top News and Analysis | Jamie Dimon warns JP Morgan may rethink new London office if 'very smart' Starmer is ousted as UK PM AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. JP Morgan chief executive Jamie Dimon told Bloomberg that the bank could reconsider its planned multi‑billion‑dollar, three‑million‑square‑foot office tower in London’s Canary Wharf if UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer were ousted, although the firm’s overall strategy would remain unchanged; the project, announced last year and conditional on a positive business environment and necessary approvals, would house up to 12,000 staff, contribute an estimated £9.9 billion to the UK economy over six years, and has already seen JP Morgan pay about $10 billion in additional taxes. Dimon criticised the tax burden, praised Starmer and finance minister Rachel Reeves for their handling of debt, deficits and post‑Brexit relations with the EU, and noted that a government hostile to banks might force a rethink of the London investment, while markets have reacted with mixed movements in gilts amid the political turbulence.

Il Tempo: Regno Unito, scricchiola il governo. La ministra si dimette e chiede un passo indietro a Starmer: "Andiamo avanti" Dopo la debacle dei labouristi alle recenti elezioni amministrative, scricchiola il governo britannico. La ministra per le Comunità, Miatta Fahnbulleh, ha rassegnato le dimissioni e chiesto al premier Keir Starmer di fare altrettanto. In una lettera condivisa su sulla piattaforma, la ministra si dice orgogliosa di quanto fatto finora pur riconoscendo di non aver "agito con la visione, il ritmo e l'ambizione che il nostro mandato di cambiamento ci impone". Per Fahnbulleh, il paese "si trova ad affrontare sfide enormi e la gnete chiede a gran voce un cambiamento di tale portata" e, rifererendosi a Starmer, ha detto: "L'opinione pubblica non crede che tu possa guidare questo cambiamento, e nemmeno io lo credo. Pertanto, ti esorto a fare ciò che è giusto per il Paese e per il partito e a stabilire un calendario per una transizione ordinata, in modo che una nuova squadra possa realizzare il cambiamento che abbiamo promesso al Paese". Da Downing Street, però, la risposta è no. "Il Partito Laburista ha una procedura per contestare un leader e questa non è stata attivata - dice Starmer - Il Paese si aspetta che continuiamo a governare. Questo è quello che sto facendo e quello che dobbiamo fare come governo". Niente marcia indietro, quindi. Starmer si assume la "responsabilità di questi risultati elettorali e di realizzare il cambiamento promesso". Per innescare la procedura di cambio del leader nel partito, un deputato deve anzitutto comunicare al Comitato esecutivo nazionale la propria intenzione di lanciare la sfida. Dopodiché può iniziare a raccogliere il sostegno formale: per ottenere una competizione elettorale sarebbe necessario ottenere l'appoggio del 20% del gruppo laburista. A quel punto il leader in carica verrebbe automaticamente inserito nella lista dei candidati. L'emittente britannica Sky News spiega che, sebbene 78 deputati abbiano chiesto pubblicamente le dimissioni di Starmer, tali richieste non attivano alcun meccanismo all'interno del partito per dare avvio a una competizione. The UK government is crumbling. The minister resigns and asks Starmer to step down: “Let’s move forward.” Following the Labour Party’s defeat in the recent local elections, the British government is crumbling. Communities Minister Miatta Fahnbulleh has resigned and asked Prime Minister Keir Starmer to do the same. In a letter shared on the platform, the minister says she is proud of what has been achieved so far, while acknowledging that she has not “acted with the vision, the pace and the ambition that our mandate for change demands.” For Fahnbulleh, the country “faces enormous challenges and the public is demanding change of such magnitude” and, referring to Starmer, she said: “Public opinion does not believe you can lead this change, and neither do I. Therefore, I urge you to do what is right for the country and for the party and to establish a timetable for a smooth transition, so that a new team can deliver the change we promised the country.” However, from Downing Street the response is no. “The Labour Party has a process for challenging a leader and this has not been activated - says Starmer - The country expects us to continue governing. That is what I am doing and what we must do as a government.” No backing down, then. Starmer takes responsibility for “these election results and to deliver the promised change.” To trigger the leadership change process within the party, a Member of Parliament must first communicate to the National Executive Committee their intention to challenge. Following this, they can begin to gather formal support: to achieve an electoral contest, 20% of the Labour group would need to back them. At that point, the incumbent leader would automatically be included in the list of candidates. The British broadcaster Sky News explains that, while 78 MPs have publicly asked for Starmer’s resignation, these requests do not activate any mechanism within the party to initiate a competition. #Starmer #theLabourParty’s #British #Communities #MiattaFahnbulleh #KeirStarmer #Fahnbulleh #DowningStreet #TheLabourParty #Parliament #first #Labour #SkyNews https://www.iltempo.it/esteri/2026/05/12/news/regno-unito-scricchiola-il-governo-la-ministra-si-dimette-e-chiede-un-passo-indietro-a-starmer-andiamo-avanti--47684676/
