Pressure on Starmers position has been mounting for months and intensified significantly on Friday after his political rival, Andy Burnham, won a seat in Parliament, enabling him to launch a formal leadership challenge. The Observer reports that Starmer is discussing the matter with his wife at his country residence, Chequers, and has not yet made a final decision, but several senior Labour Party members expect him to make a clear statement on his future as early as Monday. However, government sources emphasize that Starmer remains focused on fulfilling his duties as Prime Minister, citing his previous statements as evidence. More than 100 Labour MPs have publicly stated their desire for Starmer to resign or set a clear departure timetable, representing about a quarter of Labour MPs in the House of Commons.According to Reuters, British government sources say that Prime Minister Starmer is focused on fulfilling his duties.June 21st - According to the British newspaper *The Observer*, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is preparing a timetable for his departure. This comes after Andy Burnham, who suffered a major defeat to the Reform Party in the Greater Manchester by-election and is scheduled to be sworn in as a Member of Parliament next Monday. His supporters claim that if Starmer does not resign, Burnham has secured the support of over 201 Labour MPs to challenge him for leadership. This number exceeds half of the Labour Party in Parliament, meaning Starmer can no longer demonstrate his confidence in the House of Commons to the King. It is reported that after several rounds of discussions with cabinet ministers, Downing Street advisors, union leaders, and party donors, Starmer has concluded that his position in power is no longer secure. Senior Labour figures believe that Starmer may issue a "clear statement" as early as Monday. A Labour MP close to Starmer said: “He has come to terms with reality. As he said, preventing ‘chaos’ is no longer possible by staying in office, so there is only one option left. I think he has seen it as a responsible choice for the country and the party.” Another senior Labour figure said that Starmer now appears to have “accepted” the reality of his resignation.

Meta Loses Appeal in Russian Court Over ‘Extremist Activity’ Tag

According to the TASS news agency, a Moscow court on Monday dismissed Meta Platforms Inc's appeal after the company was found guilty of "extremist activities" in Russia in March.


Following the deployment of tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine on February 24, Russia restricted access to Meta's flagship platforms Facebook and Instagram, as well as fellow social network Twitter, a move critics have interpreted as an attempt by Russia to exert greater control over information flows.


Russia stated in March that its extremist decision will not apply to Meta's WhatsApp communication program, instead concentrating on Facebook and Instagram.


Meta did not reply to an emailed request for comment right away. Meta's lawyer, Victoria Shakina, told a judge in March that her client was not engaged in extremist activities and was opposed to Russophobia.


After Meta said it would allow social media users in Ukraine to post messages urging violence against Russian President Vladimir Putin and the troops Moscow sent there, Russia banned Facebook.


Instagram was then targeted after Meta said it would allow social media users in Ukraine to post messages urging violence against Russian President Vladimir Putin and the troops Moscow sent there.


Meta's advise was later adjusted to forbid calls for the killing of a head of state and said that it should never be understood as supporting violence against Russians in general.


Russia has also taken issue with the way Western platforms treat its own media, some of which are labeled as'state-controlled.' Roskomnadzor, Russia's communications regulator, has punished social media sites for failing to remove information that Russia considers unlawful on a frequent basis.


According to a Kommersant reporter in the courtroom, a lawyer defending Meta told the court on Monday that refusing to prevent access to content and labeling state-controlled media as radical were not behaviors that qualified.


That account could not be independently verified by Reuters, and the lawyer could not be located immediately.


Because Meta's WhatsApp service remained operational after the verdict, there was some misunderstanding in March. Prosecutors also stated that people would not be prosecuted merely for utilizing Meta's services, which are still available over virtual private networks (VPNs).


Organizations and people must incorporate the disclaimer that Meta's operations are prohibited on Russian territory when referring to Meta in the public domain, according to the order.
