UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced he is resigning from his post, after less than two years leading the government. Starmer said the transition would be carried out smoothly, and he will remain prime minister until a new Labour leader is elected. The resignation comes amid strong pressure from within the Labour Party, along with concerns over poor election results and political divisions that have emerged in recent months. Reports indicate Andy Burnham is among the most prominent candidates to replace Starmer once the leadership race begins. This resignation could significantly affect UK politics, with a political contest expected in the coming weeks to choose the country's new leader.
