Summary
Sir Keir Starmer is stepping down as Prime Minister and Labour leader by end of July, paving way for Andy Burnham—possibly unopposed—to take over mid-July. Starmer, citing internal tensions and his wife’s influence, says he’ll fully support his successor, who’ll inherit a stronger, fairer Britain. Behind the scenes, friction with Burnham reportedly fueled the decision, as some ministers saw Starmer as a liability. The Labour party braces for a new era as political power shifts.
