Keir Starmer Resignation: PM Keir Starmer informed King Charles III of his decision to resign on Monday morning. He speaks outside 10 Downing Street after the victory of Andy Burnham last week in the Makerfield by-election in London.
Keir announced he will step down as Prime Minister, acknowledging the Labour’s Parliament Part doesn’t see him as the best candidate to lead the next general election. The new transition is expected to be placed before September.
Keir said he inherited a Labour Party that was politically, financially, and morally bankrupt. He spoke about how he led the party in a landslide victory in 2024 and highlighted his record, citing growth in real wages. He spoke about how he reduced wait-times for medical appointments, a ban on social media for under-16s, and more.
I know the question being asked now is not who was best placed to change the Labour Party to take us into power and to begin the vital work of improving lives for millions of people. Those questions have been answered,” Mr. Starmer said, adding, “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,” Mr. Starmer said. The Prime Minister had informed King Charles III of his decision on Monday (June 22, 2026) morning, following a weekend of deliberation at his official country home, Chequers.
