British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced his resignation as leader of the Labour Party, a move that will also end his tenure as the United Kingdom's prime minister. The dramatic decision follows weeks of mounting pressure within Labour and a growing leadership challenge from former Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham.
Starmer's resignation comes less than two years after Labour's landslide election victory and follows disappointing local election results that raised questions about his leadership. In a statement outside 10 Downing Street, Starmer said he had listened to the views of his party and accepted that it was time for new leadership.
With Labour now preparing for a leadership contest, attention turns to who will replace Starmer and what this means for Britain's political future
