British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced he will step down as leader of the Labour Party and resign as prime minister once a successor is chosen.⁣
⁣
In a statement, Starmer said he had accepted the view of Labour MPs that he was no longer the best person to lead the party into the next general election.⁣
⁣
He said he had informed King Charles III of his decision and confirmed that Labour's leadership contest will begin on July 9, with a new leader expected to be in place before Parliament returns in September.⁣
⁣
Starmer will remain as prime minister until the leadership race concludes and said he would support his successor fully during the transition.⁣
