## Resource

Keir Starmer has stepped down as UK Prime Minister just shy of two years after leading Labour to a historic election win, amid mounting pressure from voters disillusioned by tax hikes and public service cuts — a trend starkly revealed in recent local election losses. His exit follows a major internal party shift after Andy Burnham’s by-election victory, which has energized calls for leadership change. Starmer accepted the party’s decision, pledging to remain in office until a successor is chosen before Parliament reconvenes in September. With Labour now tasked with finding its next leader — and the next general election not due until 2029 — the UK enters a pivotal leadership transition after 14 years of Conservative rule.
