Keir Starmer has stepped down as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, declaring that he was leaving the country “stronger and fairer” as he departed Downing Street.
Starmer made the remarks in a farewell statement before leaving No. 10, bringing an end to his tenure as Britain’s prime minister.
His resignation paves the way for Andy Burnham to take over as the country’s new prime minister following the transition of power.
In his parting message, Starmer reflected on his time in office, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to serve and insisting that his government had strengthened the country while promoting fairness.
Burnham is expected to be formally appointed by the King before naming his Cabinet and outlining the priorities of his new administration.
