Starmer Steps Down as Labour Leader

Sir Keir Starmer is stepping down as Labour leader, citing doubts he’s the right person to lead into the next election, while staying on as PM until a successor is chosen—expected before Parliament returns in September. Nominations open July 9th, close July 16th. Potential contenders include Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting, amid internal pressure and recent election setbacks. Starmer defends his record, saying he rebuilt a fractured party and improved Britain, and plans to focus on family after leaving office. The UK could see its seventh PM since 2016.
