June 22, LNW (Colombo):UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has resigned from his position as Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party, marking a dramatic turning point in British politics.

The announcement has triggered a major political shake-up in the United Kingdom, with speculation already mounting over who will succeed him as Labour leader and next Prime Minister.
