Starmer resigns as Labour leader
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer officially announced his resignation from the Labour Party leadership, becoming the fourth head of government to fall since the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine. He delivered an emotional farewell speech in which he expressed support for his potential successor, outlined a timetable for selecting the new leader before Parliament's return in September, and praised his achievements in rebuilding the party, strengthening the economy, and accomplishing progress in the health and defense sectors. The Russians responded negatively to his resignation, considering his relations with Moscow to have been unfavorable. It is expected that his deputy, Andy Burnham, will easily assume party leadership.
