Starmer Steps Down as UK PM

Starmer Steps Down as UK PM

Published 18 hours ago
Description

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer shocks the nation by announcing his resignation after just over a year in office, paving the way for Labour’s first leadership contest in nearly a decade. Facing mounting pressure from a crushing local election defeat and growing internal dissent, Starmer plans to stay until a successor is chosen — likely by September — while international allies like Ursula von der Leyen praise his diplomatic achievements. Former mayor Andy Burnham is already emerging as the frontrunner in the race to lead Britain into the next general election.
