British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation as head of government and leader of the Labour Party on Monday, June 22, following a meeting with King Charles III. In a speech delivered outside 10 Downing Street, he indicated that he would step down after several weeks of intense political turmoil.
Weakened by declining popularity and growing divisions within his majority, Keir Starmer leaves behind a deeply uncertain political landscape. His resignation opens a new period of instability across the Channel, as the United Kingdom prepares to have its seventh Prime Minister in a decade, an unprecedented pace in the country's recent political history.
