Sir Keir Starmer has announced he will resign as Prime Minister less than two years after coming to power.In a statement outside 10 Downing Street, Sir Keir said: 'I was told time and time again that my party was finished, that we were consigned to history, that a majority at the general election, let alone a landslide majority, was impossible.'But we proved those people wrong, because we changed our party, ripping out the poison of antisemitism, restoring trust on the economy, defence, and national security, and becoming a party that once again stood proudly with, not against, our national flag.'Sir Keir's decision to stand down means Labour will now hold a contest to choose his successor, with Andy Burnham seen as the frontrunner.Now you can have your say on Sir Keir's record, in the Daily Mail's latest poll:
