22 Haziran 2026BBC News

Sir Keir Starmer has announced his resignation as both Prime Minister and leader of the Labour Party. In a statement delivered from Downing Street, he outlined his reasons for stepping down and the future direction he envisions for the party.
This unexpected decision marks a significant turning point in UK politics as the Labour Party prepares for a leadership transition.
Keir Starmer became leader of the Labour Party in April 2020, succeeding Jeremy Corbyn. His tenure has been marked by challenges, including internal party divisions and external pressures from the Conservative government.
Starmer's resignation could signal a shift in the political landscape, particularly for the Labour Party, which has struggled to maintain momentum under his leadership. Analysts will be keenly observing how this decision impacts party unity and electoral prospects ahead of the next general election.
