“Exhausted” adviser to British Prime Minister Andy Burnham wants to resign, The Telegraph claims.

Jonathan Powell is allegedly considering stepping down as national security adviser because of “overwork and stress,” the newspaper reports, citing the politician’s “friends.”

The rumors emerged amid growing doubts about Powell’s future after his wife was accused of supporting the Palestine Action movement over an ambiguous post on the social network X.

Some sources told The Telegraph that Powell had not considered resigning. Reports of such plans first emerged in February this year. Recently, the newspaper notes, his activities have sparked controversy, in particular because of the agreement to transfer sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius and Britain’s rapprochement with China.

❗️The Palestine Action movement was added to the list of organizations banned in Britain on July 5. Since the organization was banned, around 2,000 people have been detained at protests in its support across the country.
