British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced today his resignation from his position, noting that he informed the King of this decision, adding: “I will remain Prime Minister until a new leader of the Labor Party is chosen.”
Starmer said: “I will ask Labor to set a timetable with nominations opening on July 9.”
He added: "I inherited a politically bankrupt party, and I was told that the Labor Party was finished, but I proved to those who said the exact opposite."
