Three members of his government, including Home Office minister Jess Phillips, have resigned, whilst scores of Labour MPs are calling for him to quit following a disastrous set of elections for the party last week.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is among a number of cabinet ministers urging the prime minister to set out a departure timetable.
Sir Keir said he does not intend to quit and threw down the gauntlet to potential rivals to formally challenge him as Labour leader.
No MP has yet launched a formal bid to challenge him, which requires the backing of 81 colleagues or 20% of Labour MPs, according to party rules.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

This is what a civil war in the US would look like. IS and the Kurds are comprised of hodgepodge uniforms, obese guys, and no coherent plan. It's just a free for all. We see similar events in Ukraine. Apparently 2014 will be remembered as "The Rise of Angry Fat Men"

They needed Saddam. It seems he was the only one who kept things under control over there. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Often complain East Jerusalem neighborhoods endowment, so that essential services, but the pictures obtained by Channel 2 Online, as they seem to attack the residents of the rescue forces – who went on to help them at their request.
Documentation at the foot of a Savannah neighborhood in east of the city, a man is holding a two Molotov cocktails when they are on, after he lit them. At first it seems an ambulance passes rather then a police cruiser Molotov cocktails thrown at her. These same Muslims who live in Europe that's what Europeans will soon ..

Hypothetically those Iraqi soldiers could of been Syrian soldiers, as the Syrians have been fighting these terrorists/"rebels" for over 3 years now, the west was happy to support these "Jihadists" painting them as "moderate secular" freedom fighters, giving them a free pass to Syria, when in reality they were supporting a terrorists cause, Assad has done more for humanity then any leader in the world getting rid of these terrorists and should be supported, all minority's in Syria support Assad for he protects them, unlike the west who supports "rebels" aka terrorists who are slaughtering them.
