Residents of Clacton-on-Sea, one of the UK's strongest Brexit-supporting constituencies, reacted to Prime Minister Keir Starmer's resignation announcement with a mix of frustration, indifference and cautious optimism.⁣
⁣
The Essex seaside town, which voted heavily to leave the European Union and later elected Reform UK leader Nigel Farage as its MP, has often been seen as a bellwether for anti-establishment political sentiment.⁣
⁣
Starmer announced he would step down as Labour leader and remain prime minister until a successor is chosen, triggering a leadership contest that is expected to conclude before Parliament returns in September.⁣
⁣
What do voters in one of Britain's most politically watched towns make of the decision?⁣
