British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to resign on Monday and set out a timetable for his departure, the Observer newspaper reports.
The newspaper says Starmer has reached the conclusion that his position is no longer tenable after speaking to cabinet ministers, advisers, donors and trade union leaders.
The report says Starmer is discussing the matter with his wife at his Chequers country residence before making a final decision, but that senior Labour figures expect a clear statement on his future as early as Monday.
