British Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigns

173

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigns. He says this on Monday in London. The pressure from his own party is high. The party name is Labour Party. Many members are unhappy with his work.

The Labour Party loses many votes in elections. Reform UK becomes strong. Nigel Farage leads this party. He wants less immigration. Starmer can not stop this trend.

There is trouble about Peter Mandelson. Starmer makes him an envoy in the USA. News about Mandelson and a criminal appear. This hurts the image of Starmer.

The government searches for a new leader. Andy Burnham is a big favorite. He is mayor of Manchester for a long time. He wins a seat in parliament now. This is good for the new job.

Starmer stays in office for now. A new leader comes by September. It happens maybe faster. If only Burnham runs, he starts in July.

Great Britain has much trouble for 10 years. The Brexit vote happens 10 years ago. The government changes often since then. Burnham is the 7th Prime Minister in this time.
