## Resource

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership hangs by a thread with now more than 70 Labour MPs calling for him to resign following last Thursday’s devastating local and regional election results. We hear from London Mayor Sadiq Khan who says a change of leadership at this point is not the answer to the government’s problems. U.S. President Donald Trump rubbishes Tehran’s response to American peace proposals and says a lasting ceasefire deal is in peril. As a result, European futures are in the red this morning and Wall Street remains largely flat as focus shifts to the U.S. inflation print – the last presided over by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
