## Resource

Keir Starmer has stunned the nation by announcing his resignation as Prime Minister after just two years in office, citing loss of support from his own Labour MPs — a dramatic reversal from his landslide election victory last year that ended 14 years of opposition. His departure triggers a leadership race, with Andy Burnham emerging as the frontrunner, backed by Wes Streeting and returning to Parliament after a by-election win. Starmer’s tenure was defined by policy pivots and plummeting approval ratings, as Labour faced mounting pressure from Reform UK’s surge and disappointing local election results. The Labour NEC will soon set a timeline for the contest, with nominations opening July 9 and a new leader expected before Parliament reconvenes in September — all while the UK navigates critical political and economic challenges.
