Trump says Starmer will resign as UK prime minister
- On Monday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer confirmed his resignation from Downing Street, stepping down after 717 days in office and accepting he was no longer best placed to lead Labour into the next general election.
- Starmer reflected on his tenure, stating he inherited a Labour Party that was "politically, financially and morally bankrupt" six years ago but restored trust in the economy, defence, and national security.
- Anti-Brexit campaigner Steve Bray disrupted the resignation speech by playing "Ode to Joy" through loudspeakers near Downing Street, creating what BBC News analyst Nick Robinson described as a "bizarre spectacle."
- Labour's governing body will open leadership nominations on July 9, with a new leader to be in place before Parliament returns in September, ensuring an "orderly" transition of power.
- Concluding his time in the "biggest job in the country," Starmer said he would focus on the "most important job" of being a husband and father to his family.
