UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on June 22 that he would resign as leader of the Labour Party, bowing to growing pressure from within his own party to step down and opening the door to a leadership contest to replace him.
“The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election,“ Starmer told reporters on June 22 in London. ”I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace.”
