Some senior British cabinet ministers have urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to set out a timetable for his resignation.
But there are splits within the cabinet over the issue.
Over 70 Labour MPs, out of the party total of 403, have called on Starmer either to resign or to announce a departure date.
They include Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, whom Starmer earlier appointed as the first ever Muslim to serve in such a position.
Starmer is facing mounting pressure to resign after Labour lost almost 1,500 council seats in England and surrendered control of around 40 local councils.
Starmer's government has also struggled to deliver promised economic growth.
Speaking on Monday morning, Starmer said while the local election results were "very tough," he would not be "walking away."
