Keir Starmer will not set out a plan for leaving office, his spokesman said as pressure mounts on Britain’s prime minister to step aside to end the leadership crisis engulfing the ruling Labour Party.

“There will be no timetable for departure,” Tom Wells, Starmer’s official spokesman, told reporters on Monday. “The prime minister is getting on with governing.”
