Kier Starmer resigns as Prime Minister | In Full
Sir Keir Starmer has announced he will resign as Prime Minister.
On the verge of tears outside No 10 this morning, the Prime Minister said a new leader would be in place by September.
His voice was notably shaky as he paid tribute to his wife Lady Starmer and their children, saying: “When I leave the biggest job in the country, I shall spent more time on the most important job, being the best husband I can to my fantastic wife Vic, who has been a rock by my side through good times and bad, and being the best dad I can to my beautiful children, who are my pride and my joy.”

Lets all thoroughly enjoy hated Starmer's suffering today 🥳🥳🥳🥳
What a tosspot
Russia & China can't get rid of their leaders.
The U.K. can't retain theirs.
still kept his arse in place for a few more months but i did enjoy seeing him tear up. payback for the division and gaslighting hes put everyone through
yes, he certainly changed Britain. He's bloody deluded, "Look at what we've achieved" Sadly not!
A disgrace , grooming gang cover ups, covid injection promoter, jury trial, clamp down on free speech, no economic plan. Why did he want the job and all the freebies
The worst of the worst, so far. Nope just remembered Theresa May.
He doesn't seem to be able to accept that he's stood at that podium being forced to resign because he was an atrocious PM.
Completely delusional if he think's we're in a better position that we were in before Labour got in.
Bye, bye Starmavich 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Tories top the betrayal party. Labour, we got what we expected.
About time but out of the frying pan into the fire springs to mind. This should have been a statement calling a general election to let the people decide our future not the politicians all now trying to save their jobs in the Labour party
The lead Bozo made sure the labor party failed. Nothing was fixed he is being force to resign because he failed.
