Keir Starmer has resigned as UK Prime Minister after less than two years, marking the sixth change of leadership in a decade. His exit comes amid falling popularity and a series of unpopular policies.
The latest local elections saw Labour lose almost 1,500 councillors, with many seats taken by Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, reflecting Britons' growing disillusionment. Starmer admitted he was not the best choice to lead the party into the next election, accepting his resignation gracefully.
Donald Trump weighed in on the situation, criticising Starmer for failure on immigration and energy policies despite a drop in net migration under his watch. The UK’s political landscape continues to shift, with former Labour Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham expected to challenge Starmer's premiership.
This rapid turnover of leaders since Brexit began with David Cameron in 2016 highlights the challenges facing British politics. Starmer will remain as interim Prime Minister until a new leader is elected by the Labour party, likely before September.
