Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday resigned from his position, paving the way for Britain’s seventh leader in a decade.
Addressing the press outside 10 Downing Street, Starmer said he would accept his party’s decision with “good grace”, and would extend his unequivocal and full support to his successor.
“Every decision I have taken has been about putting the country I love first, and that is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party.”
He added that he informed Britain’s King Charles III of his decision in the morning.
