## Resource

Starmer said he was stepping down in the interests of party unity and the country after growing pressure from within the governing Labour Party. Labour's poor electoral performance and declining public support are widely cited as major factors behind the decision. Andy Burnham is considered the leading candidate to succeed him, and several prominent Labour figures have publicly backed him. If the transition proceeds as expected, the UK could have its seventh prime minister since the 2016 Brexit referendum.
