UK Prime Minister Faces Calls to Resign Amid Funding Scandal

London — UK Prime Minister James Harding is under intense pressure to resign following revelations of illegal campaign funding, according to BBC reports. The scandal broke on March 22, 2026, when investigators uncovered undisclosed donations totaling £2.5 million to Harding's party during the last election cycle. Opposition leaders have called for an immediate parliamentary inquiry, accusing Harding of violating electoral laws. Harding has denied any wrongdoing but admitted to lapses in oversight. The controversy has sparked widespread protests across London, with polls showing his approval rating dropping by 15% in just one week. The unfolding investigation threatens to destabilize the government ahead of crucial budget talks next month, BBC added.
