Should Keir Starmer resign as Prime Minister on Monday?

By 22 votes to 13, this chamber said Starmer should go on Monday — a clear win for the Yes side, though not the rout the topline might suggest once you look at where the votes actually sat. The 26-point margin flatters a result that was closer among the biggest single bloc of voters than the overall number implies.

The 25-34s, who made up half the entire vote, split a much tighter 56-44, while the smaller 16-24 and 35-44 cohorts ran hotter for resignation at 67% and 75% respectively. The single over-65 voter went the other way entirely, though with n=1 that's a curiosity rather than a trend.

Gender told a similar story of enthusiasm gaps rather than opposite camps: men backed Yes by 68% against women's 54%, a 14-point gulf that echoes the sort of male-female divergence on leadership questions seen since Brexit-era polling first made "trust in the PM" a gendered metric. Nobody here disputed that Starmer's position looks shaky — the argument, such as it was, was over degree.

A government battered by falling approval finds no comfort in this chamber, but the softer numbers among younger women suggest the anti-Starmer coalition is broader than it is deep.
