British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation, confirming that he had already informed the King of his decision on Monday morning in London. Starmer requested that the Labour Party’s National Executive Committee establish a schedule for electing a new party leader, with nominations opening on July 9th. This process is designed to ensure that a new head of government is in place before Parliament resumes in September, a date until which he will remain in office. Starmer attributed his decision to feedback received from his party, stating that they believed he was not the best choice to lead the struggling government party into the next election. Among the potential successors is Andy Burnham, who was recently elected to the UK House of Commons in a by-election and is currently regarded as the most popular Labour politician in the country.
