A British lawmaker, Rupert Lowe, has launched a scathing attack on outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer following his resignation, describing his tenure as a failure and accusing him of damaging the country’s future.
Starmer announced his decision to step down amid growing pressure within the ruling Labour Party after months of political turmoil, poor electoral performances and increasing calls from party members for a change in leadership.
He is expected to remain in office until Labour elects a new leader.
Reacting to the development, Lowe, who represents Great Yarmouth in Parliament and leads the political movement Restore Britain, said Starmer’s resignation marked the end of what he described as a deeply disappointing premiership.
“Starmer resigns, he has been a truly disgraceful Prime Minister,” Lowe wrote in a post on X.
“I do not believe him to be a good man or a patriot. He has deliberately and rapidly accelerated the destruction of our Britain, of our home. History will not remember him kindly, nor should it.”
The outspoken lawmaker said one of his biggest grievances with Starmer stemmed from the former prime minister’s handling of calls for a national inquiry into the sexual exploitation of young girls.
According to Lowe, the issue remains unforgivable.
“I sat in Parliament, looking him in the eye, listening to him attempting to justify his decision to block a national inquiry into the mass rape of young British girls. I will never forgive him. For that, and so much else,” he stated.
