 UK leader Starmer battles to keep job as Mandelson-Epstein revelations trigger crisis    British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was fighting for political survival on Monday as his authority within the Labour Party sharply eroded less than two years into his term. Under mounting pressure from party lawmakers, Starmer was scrambling to head off a potential revolt that could cost him the leadership after a damaging scandal involving his appointment of Peter Mandelson as Britain’s ambassador to Washington. The crisis deepened over the weekend when Starmer lost his chief of staff, and it intensified further on Monday with the resignation of his director of communications, Tim Allan, who said he was stepping aside to allow a new team to be formed.

 DAVID MARK CALLS FOR LONGER LEGISLATIVE TERMS, SAYS ONE TERM IS NOT ENOUGH 


9th February, 2026 


Former Senate President and ADC National Chairman, David Mark, has called for lawmakers to be allowed multiple terms, arguing that a single term is insufficient to deliver effective legislation.


Mark made the remarks on Saturday during the launch of The Burden of Legislators in Nigeria, a book authored by former Senator Effiong Bob.


Speaking on his 20-year experience representing Benue South Senatorial District, Mark said first-term lawmakers often struggle with parliamentary procedures, and it takes time to become fully effective.


“I spent 20 years in the Senate, and I’m very grateful to my electorate. Legislators need more than one term, two, three terms to make a real impact,” he said.


The call comes amid renewed third-term ambitions in Benue State, including his daughter, Blessing Onuh, seeking re-election to the House of Representatives for Otukpo/Ohimini, and his Senate successor, Abba Moro, pursuing a third term.


Mark insisted that experienced lawmakers wield greater influence and are better positioned to serve their constituents. “In the first four years, you are lost. You need more than that,” he added.
