Description
The U.K. is on the cusp of having its sixth leader in just seven years after Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation on Monday. It comes after Starmer – a former human rights lawyer who returned the Labour Party to power for the first time in 14 years – failed to enact change fast enough for a weary British public and faced growing rebellion from his own lawmakers.
