Keir Starmer is set to announce his resignation as leader of the Labour Party this morning, according to reports in The Guardian. The announcement is expected to be made via a statement delivered outside 10 Downing Street. Andy Burnham, the current Mayor of Greater Manchester, is widely anticipated to be a leading contender to succeed Starmer in the leadership race. Details regarding the exact timing of the resignation and the subsequent leadership contest are expected to be outlined in Starmer’s statement. This move initiates a period of uncertainty for the Labour Party as it prepares to select a new leader. Burnham has long been considered a potential successor and is believed to have significant support within the party. The resignation comes at a pivotal moment for British politics, with a general election expected in the coming months.
