British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced his resignation, saying every decision he has made while in office was driven by a commitment to put the United Kingdom first.
In a brief statement, Starmer said: “Every decision I have taken is about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign.”
The announcement marks a dramatic moment in British politics, bringing an end to his tenure as prime minister and setting the stage for a leadership transition. While Starmer did not immediately outline the reasons behind his decision or specify when he would formally leave office, his declaration is expected to trigger a race to determine his successor.
Further details on the transition process and the next steps for the government are expected in the coming hours.
