The United Kingdom is set to see a new prime minister after Keir Starmer announced his intention to step down from the top post after two years in office.
Addressing a sudden press conference outside 10 Downing Street, Starmer stated that one of the key questions the Labour party was asking if he is 'best placed to lead the party till the next general elections.'
Starmer reflected on Labour's landslide win in the 2024 general election and stated that he inherited a 'Lego party, a party that was broken, and politically, financially and morally bankrupt.'
He added that during his term in office, the UK 'stood by Ukraine, stood for our values, worked to strengthening our ties with allies in Europe.'
Starmer will stay in office as caretaker PM until the Labour Party elects a new party leader.
He thanked his friends and colleagues who have been by his side for six years and the No 10 staff and their 'extraordinary civil service.'
