Londoners voiced mixed reactions on Monday after UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation, triggering a leadership contest within the governing Labour Party.
Some residents said they doubted a change of leader would make much difference to their daily lives. Others expressed frustration with the country's economic situation and a feeling that promised improvements had failed to materialise.
Lawyer Alan Collins described the resignation as "good news for the country", arguing that Britain faces major challenges that require stronger leadership. At the same time, he warned that frequent changes of prime minister could create further instability.
