Starmer Resigns as UK Prime Minister After Two Years

Keir Starmer has resigned as Prime Minister, ending a tenure of just over two years—among the shortest in modern British history. The Labour leader, who took office after the party's general election victory, departs amid public frustration over faltering economic messaging and unmet reform promises. A party leadership contest must now unfold while the government faces pressures on fiscal policy, the NHS, and EU relations.
