Starmer resigns as UK prime minister after turbulent 13 months in office

BBC—Keir Starmer delivered his resignation speech outside 10 Downing Street, ending a turbulent 13-month premiership that began with a historic Labour landslide and collapsed under by-election losses and mounting political pressure. In the speech he said 'I leave the biggest job,' while his wife was seen visibly emotional at his side. Six key themes emerged: immigration, the economy, welfare cuts, the party's left flank, U.S. relations, and his own leadership style. Data shows Labour's collapse in support across six charts.
