"Speaking outside No 10…Starmer announced he will be standing down as Labour leader.

During that speech, he said he had inherited a party that was “politically, financially and morally bankrupt”."

Kier Starmer is one of the most despicable individuals this nation has ever had as a member of parliament.

And how lacking in self-awareness.

He actively supports a #genocide and calls others morally bankrupt!

So much for staying on as caretaker #PrimeMinister

#KeirStarmer finally announced his resignation as prime minister, bowing to a long-simmering mutiny inside his #Labour Party. The decision very likely paves the way for #AndyBurnham, a popular former mayor, to become the country’s next leader.

#Starmer, who vowed as recently as Friday not to “walk away” from his job, said that he would only remain in office until a new party leader was selected.

The formal contest to replace #Starmer will begin in early July & could end in a matter of days. Starmer said Monday that nominations will open on July 9 & close when #Parliament breaks up for its summer recess, which is scheduled to begin July 16. The contest will be open to members of Parliament from the ruling #Labour Party. Former Manchester Mayor #AndyBurnham confirmed Monday that he will run to succeed Keir Starmer as Labour leader & #PrimeMinister.
