UK: PM Keir Starmer announces resignation • FRANCE 24 English

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday he would resign, with a new leader to be in place by the time parliament returns in September. With his popularity rating tumbling over his handling of the economy, pressure has been mounting on Starmer for months. It increased sharply on Friday when Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor, won a parliamentary election to return to Westminster, paving the way for him to challenge for the Labour leadership.
