UK PM Starmer Poised to Announce Resignation as Early as Monday After Losing 201+ MPs Support

According to The Observer, UK PM Starmer is expected to announce his resignation as early as Monday (June 23) after losing parliamentary support. Starmer has reportedly prepared a timeline for his departure following the decision by Andy Burnham, who won a by-election in Greater Manchester and is set to be sworn in as an MP on Monday. Burnham has secured backing from over 201 Labour MPs—more than half of the party's parliamentary group—leaving Starmer unable to prove to the King that he retains the confidence of the House of Commons. Party insiders said Starmer is likely to issue a "clear statement" on Monday, with senior Labour figures indicating he has "accepted" the resignation is now inevitable.
