Keir Starmer announced Monday he is stepping down as Britain’s prime minister, yielding to intense pressure from his own lawmakers and setting the country on the path for a sixth leader in seven years.
Just two years after the Labour government swept into power in the UK with a landslide majority, the government will now enter a new period of uncertainty, facing a sixth prime minister in seven years.
CNN’s Clare Sebastian reports from No.10 Downing Street on the likely frontrunner to replace Starmer. Also, CNN European affairs commentator Dominic Thomas and Politico’s “Westminster Insider” podcast host Patrick Baker break down Starmer’s departure.
