What happened in the hours before Keir Starmer resigned | BBC News

On Monday morning, Keir Starmer announced he is stepping down as prime minister and leader of the Labour Party.

In his resignation speech outside 10 Downing Street, he said: “The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election.

“I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question. And I accept that answer with good grace.”
