British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday announced that he will step down as both Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party, bringing an end to a turbulent period marked by growing dissatisfaction within his own party. The 63-year-old said he would continue in office until Labour elects a new leader in the coming weeks, with the transition expected to be completed by September. In a statement from Downing Street, Starmer pledged his “full and unequivocal support” to whoever succeeds him, saying he wants to ensure a smooth and orderly transfer of power.
