Outgoing UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer received a standing ovation from Labour lawmakers after his final Prime Minister's Questions in Parliament on July 15, 2026. In an emotional farewell, Starmer said every prime minister must eventually "pass on the torch," calling it the end of his political journey. He thanked colleagues, supporters and his family before answering his final question in the House of Commons. Starmer is set to formally step down in the coming days, with Andy Burnham expected to succeed him as the United Kingdom's next Prime Minister.
