Summary
Keir Starmer’s exit as PM and Labour leader leaves Britain in political limbo, with his defense and EU plans hanging in the balance as he becomes a “lame-duck” leader. Andy Burnham is set to take over in mid-July, but Starmer still plans to attend key international meetings — including a Berlin summit and NATO in Turkey — while wrestling with whether to release his controversial Defence Investment Plan. The cancellation of the EU-U.K. summit underscores Europe’s hesitation to engage with a leader nearing the end of his term, and global partners are demanding clarity and continuity from the incoming government.
