In Britain, Keir Starmer has resigned as prime minister and leader of the Labour Party over mounting pressure from within his own party. Starmer spoke earlier today.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer: “The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election. I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace. Every decision I’ve taken has been about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party.”

Starmer’s announcement paves the way for Britain to have its seventh leader in 10 years. Former Manchester mayor and newly elected Labour MP Andy Burnham is widely expected to become the next prime minister.
