Starmer Steps Down as Labour Leader

Keir Starmer is stepping down as Labour Party leader after bruising election losses and mounting pressure from over 100 MPs, paving the way for Andy Burnham — the newly elected MP and former Manchester mayor — to emerge as the frontrunner. With Burnham already backed by well over the required 20% of MPs, Starmer’s exit is effectively sealed, though he’ll remain caretaker PM until a new leader is chosen. The party’s leadership race is set to formally begin July 9th, but candidates can already start campaigning — and Burnham’s supporters are already making their case loud and clear.
