Keir Starmer, the leader of the UK’s Labour Party, has announced his resignation. The announcement was made in a statement delivered outside 10 Downing Street. Starmer confirmed he had informed King Charles III of his decision to step down. The resignation initiates a leadership contest within the Labour Party, with potential candidates expected to emerge in the coming days. Details regarding the timeline for the leadership election have not yet been released. This move comes as a surprise to many, given the party’s recent gains in polling and upcoming general election. The reasons behind Starmer’s decision remain unclear at this time.
