Keir Starmer will step down as U.K. Prime Minister weeks after a brutal round of local elections and as he faced a challenge from within his Labour Party.

British PM Keir Starmer announced his resignation after Labour's devastating local election losses and a mounting revolt from within his own party ranks.

Business Secretary Peter Kyle over the weekend said Starmer was taking time to "try and reflect on the political challenges that he faces."

The new MP for Makerfield will give what his team has called "his first major leadership speech" on Monday morning.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s relationship with President Donald Trump had soured. Trump took to social media to wish Starmer well but also accuse the outgoing prime minister of failing “badly” on immigration and energy issues.

In the grand, turbulent theater of global politics, British prime ministers have become the ultimate seasonal commodity.

In the years since, prime ministers have come and gone, while Gough, in his uniform black T-shirt, has outlasted them all. Pictures and videos of him carrying the lectern and testing its microphones have become something of a harbinger of significant political news.

Larry the Cat remains a constant at Downing Street as Keir Starmer’s resignation marks the latest in a decade of rapid U.K. leadership turnover.
