The Scottish National Party will attempt to force a vote on UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s future with an amendment to the King’s Speech, the party has announced. New SNP Westminster leader Dave Doogan said the ‘leadership circus can’t go on any longer’ as he seeks to force Labour MPs to stake a position on the prime minister’s job if he does not resign himself. ‘This farce has to end now so Parliament can focus on the issues that really matter,’ Doogan said. ‘It’s clear the only way that can happen is for Keir Starmer to go. He has lost the confidence of voters and his own MPs, and there’s no coming back from that. ‘The Labour Party must stop dragging this crisis out and put an end to it now. If the Labour Cabinet ministers don’t have the decency to do the right thing then Parliament must. ‘Unless they put an end to this chaos now, the SNP will table a motion of no confidence in Keir Starmer to draw things to a close.’ By Craig Paton, Press Association Scotland Deputy Political Editor Press Association: News source: PA Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
