A major reversal has come to light in British politics, where Prime Minister Keir Starmer has resigned from his post. However, he will continue to perform his duties as the acting Prime Minister until a new Prime Minister is elected. Addressing the nation, he said that he has also spoken to Charles III in this regard. Political uncertainty in Britain has increased with Keir Starmer’s resignation. For some time now, pressure was increasing on him within the Labour Party and the demand to make Andy Burnham the next Prime Minister was gaining strength. Criticism over government decisions related to taxes and social welfare and some controversies also damaged the image of the government. Now Andy Burnham is considered the strongest contender to lead the Labour Party and be the next Prime Minister of the country, due to which there are signs of the beginning of a new era in British politics.
