Keir Starmer resigns as UK Prime Minister
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced his resignation, making way for the UK's sixth Prime Minister in seven years. His departure follows declining popularity, the surge of Nigel Farage's right-wing Reform party to become the most popular party in the UK, race riots, and a struggling economy. Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, dubbed 'the King of the North', has emerged as Labour's preferred successor after winning a critical by-election and is expected to lead the party into the next election.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
