He’ll remain caretaker until a successor is chosen, with former Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham emerging as the frontrunner after winning a special election and securing backing from Wes Streeting — potentially avoiding a leadership contest. Burnham is set to be sworn in today. Starmer’s tenure has been defined by unmet promises on growth and public services, domestic pressures, and the lingering impact of Brexit, overshadowing international praise for his Ukraine support and global economic stance. The UK now faces a pivotal leadership transition, with a new PM expected by September — marking the sixth prime minister in a decade to resign early.
