UK Prime Minister Faces Crisis Over Aide Departures
Tim Allan quit his job on Monday as a top aide to Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the United Kingdom. Allan said he was stepping aside to let Starmer build a new team.
A second top aide also quit in recent days. Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar called for Starmer to resign.
Starmer said he will not step down. Cabinet ministers publicly backed Starmer on Monday.
