Starmer said he’ll step down as UK Labour Party leader, but will remain the prime minister until his successor is chosen. With his resignation, UK is now set to get its seventh leader in a decade.
“Every decision I have taken is about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign,” he stated, while addressing the nation from the Downing Street.
