​British ​defence minister ‌John Healey said ​Prime Minister Keir ‌Starmer can still turn things around, when he was asked ‌if Starmer should set ‌a timetable for his departure.

"I think he can still ⁠deliver, ​he ⁠can still turn it round," Healey ⁠told Times Radio on Friday ​after Starmer's Labour party suffered ⁠heavy early losses in ⁠local ​elections.

"The last thing I think people ⁠want to see is the ⁠potential chaos ⁠of a leadership election."
