In tears in front of 10 Downing Street: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announces resignation after heavy party pressure

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation during a speech at 10 Downing Street, the prime minister’s official residence. His departure follows days of increasing pressure within his own social democratic Labor party. A visibly shaken Starmer declared with a breaking voice that he had understood the message from his fellow party members and was making way. Top favorite Andy Burnham immediately officially puts himself forward as a candidate to succeed him.
