Keir Starmer has announced his resignation as leader of the Labour party amid increasing pressure following a surprising election loss to Andy Burnham. Despite stepping down as party leader, Starmer will continue to serve as Prime Minister until a successor is elected. The unexpected outcome of the internal party election has thrown the Labour party into a period of uncertainty. Burnham’s victory signals a potential shift in the party’s direction, though his policies remain largely undefined at this stage. Details regarding the timeline for selecting a new Labour leader are yet to be released. FRANCE 24 is reporting on the developing situation and will provide further updates as they become available. This leadership change occurs while Starmer remains in the higher office of Prime Minister.
