Starmer has a strong green record – but a rightwing backlash weakened his plans
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.
