“A second junior minister resigned from embattled UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government on May 12”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources confirm ministerial resignations and the date. One web result explicitly mentions a 'Third minister has resigned' (Alex Davies-Jones), implying at least two had previously resigned, and another live update source specifically dates the events to May 12, 2026, noting Starmer's refusal to resign.
