Inside Keir Starmer's Collapse: From Landslide to Resignation

Sir Keir Starmer has resigned as Prime Minister, cutting short a premiership that began with a historic landslide victory just two years ago. Forced out by an internal party mutiny following Andy Burnham’s dramatic by-election win in Makerfield, Starmer exits as the most unpopular Prime Minister in modern British history.
