Unloved and directionless, UK's Starmer quits after just two years

AI Summary
British PM Keir Starmer announced his resignation from office and Labour Party leadership in response to poor recent local election results and mounting internal party pressure. His departure occurs approximately two years after assuming office following a major electoral victory. The party will select a new leader by September when parliament reconvenes, marking the country's seventh change in prime minister within a decade.
Progressive: Progressive-leaning outlets emphasize the succession process, with Andy Burnham identified as the likely incoming leader, framing the transition as an orderly party succession rather than a crisis-driven exit.
Conservative: Conservative-leaning outlets employ crisis language ('devastating losses,' 'mounting revolt') to characterize the resignation as a forced response to Labour's electoral catastrophe and internal party rebellion.
