Starmer says he'll resign as UK prime minister, roiling British politics yet again

Keir Starmer announced his resignation as UK prime minister following crushing losses in nationwide local elections that triggered a mutiny among Labour Party lawmakers. Starmer will remain as caretaker prime minister until the Labour Party selects a new leader to reboot the party. Expectations are currently growing that former Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham will be chosen as the successor, as the resignation continues to roil British politics during this period of leadership transition.
