Keir Starmer to Resign Monday Amid Labour Leadership Battle
Keir Starmer is expected to step down as UK prime minister on Monday after mounting pressure from Labour MPs to clear the way for Andy Burnham. Business Secretary Peter Kyle said Starmer is fully aware of the political realities and is seeking advice on what best serves the country. While Downing Street had vowed to fight any challenge, Starmer’s camp now faces calls for a swift exit. Andy Burnham’s recent by-election win in Makerfield strengthened his case, with about half of Labour MPs backing his bid. Other contenders, such as Wes Streeting, have also signalled their intention to contest under party rules.
