Miatta Fahnbulleh Resigns, Urges Starmer for Timetable

Miatta Fahnbulleh, a member of Parliament for Peckham, resigned from her position in the UK Government, expressing her concerns about the loss of public confidence in the administration. In her resignation letter dated May 12, 2026, addressed to Labour Party leader Keir Starmer at 10 Downing Street, she stated her pride in her contributions to the government and highlighted her achievements, including energy reform and community empowerment initiatives.

Fahnbulleh criticized the government for failing to act with the urgency required by the electorate, noting that while progress had been made, it was not sufficient to meet the demands for change. She pointed out that recent policy decisions, such as cuts to winter fuel payments for disabled people, had weakened public trust.

Fahnbulleh urged Starmer to act in the interest of the country and the Labour Party by setting a timetable for an orderly transition of leadership to deliver the promised changes.
