Keir Starmer steps down as Labour Party leader, says will remain UK PM until successor chosen
Keir Starmer has stepped down as British Prime Minister, with a new Labour leader expected before September.

Burnham, known for his communication skills, faces questions on policy and the nation's challenging financial landscape. His potential leadership marks another shift in UK prime ministers since Brexit.
