UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer fought back tears as he announced his resignation this morning.
In a speech outside 10 Downing Street, Starmer said a new Labour leader would be in office by September.
His voice wavered as he offered a tribute to his wife and family.
“When I leave the biggest job in the country, I shall spend 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.”
It’s reported that Starmer spent the weekend at his country residence, Chequers, considering his options after Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham’s victory in the Makerfield by-election.
The previous MP for Makerfield stepped aside so Burnham could win the seat and make a leadership challenge against Starmer.
On Friday, allies of the Primer Minister insisted he wouldn’t resign, but he was said to have accepted the “political realities” of his situation after a series of “brutal” conversations with ministers.
President Trump heaped further embarrassment on Starmer on Sunday, announcing he would resign in a post on Truth Social.
“Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom,” President Trump wrote on Sunday.
“He failed badly on two very important subjects- IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!). I wish him well! President DJT.”
Keir Starmer has faced widespread disapproval as Prime Minister, at home and abroad.
In a recent YouGov poll, just 18% thought he was doing a good job as Prime Minister, with 74% saying he was doing badly. His ratings have decline consistently since he took office in July 2024.
He has repeatedly clashed with President Trump, who described him as “not Winston Churchill” after his refusal to allow US planes to launch attacks on Iran from the joint US-UK airbase on Diego Garcia, in the Indian Ocean.

Starmer reminds me that I’m glad there’s an eternal hell.
He needs to be publicly executed. Drawn and quartered and his head put on a pike for treason. All his wealth confiscated and his family bloodline destroyed. No mercy to these globalist mother fuckers!
THIS! ^^^^^^^ For what he did to his country and it’s natural born citizens.
Damn, that would be the right thing to do for sure. It would make the rest of them think twice
Never any repercussions when it comes to the traitor scumbags.
