UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer Resigns Amid Party Mutiny

Keir Starmer announced his resignation as prime minister of the United Kingdom. The decision follows a mutiny within the Labour Party against his leadership. Starmer said he will step down in the coming weeks. His departure opens the way for Labour mayor Andy Burnham. Burnham is a popular figure within the party and the country. He could become the seventh prime minister from Labour in ten years. The transition is expected to occur without a general election. Observers will watch how the new leadership shapes Britain’s policy agenda.
