LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation as leader of the Labour Party on June 22, 2026, just two years after a landslide election victory in July 2024. He will remain as caretaker prime minister until a new leader is selected. His decision follows growing pressure and the recent victory of Andy Burnham, the former mayor of Greater Manchester, in a special election, who is expected to challenge for the leadership. Starmer, known for his approachable persona and political experience, made the emotional announcement outside 10 Downing Street, acknowledging his parliamentary party's desire for new leadership ahead of the next general election. #KeirStarmer #AndyBurnham #UKPolitics #LabourLeadership #PoliticalChange #leadershipElection #LabourParty #resignation #politicalLeadership #UKPrimeMinister #ChuckPointWalker #sMILE https://apnews.com/article/keir-starmer-resignation-pressure-burnham-uk-politics-8aa1c427418c487fe644f5d5c40d1518?utm_source=copy&utm_medium=share
