According to reports, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced he will step down as Labour Party leader amid growing internal pressure and political challenges. He said he will remain in office temporarily until a new leadership contest concludes, ensuring an orderly transition of power.
The move comes after months of declining support, policy controversies, cabinet resignations, and rising competition from Reform UK. Leadership contenders are now expected to emerge, with Andy Burnham seen as a key figure returning to parliament.
The Labour Party is set to open nominations for a new leader on July 9, marking the start of a major political transition in the UK.
