Keir Starmer, the leader of the UK government, announced on Monday his resignation from both the leadership of the Labour Party and his position as Prime Minister. The Labour Party will determine who the next Prime Minister will be, with Andy Burnham emerging as a likely candidate.
After a period of uncertainty that lasted several days and weeks, Starmer confirmed his decision during a press conference. He mentioned that he had spoken with King Charles earlier that morning and will request the party to establish a timeline for the transition. Starmer will remain in his role until a successor is appointed.
This is a developing story.
