UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is preparing to resign. The reason is the weakening of his position within the ruling Labour Party, which he leads.
Medianews.az reports that Keir Starmer, born in 1962, has been the leader of the Labour Party since April 4, 2020.
On July 4, 2024, the Labour Party won the election to the lower house of parliament - the House of Commons, and on July 5 Keir Starmer took office as prime minister.
In the United Kingdom, which unites England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, the king is considered the head of state. Currently, King Charles III reigns. The government is formed based on the results of the House of Commons election.
In the 650-seat House of Commons, the Labour Party holds 403 seats, the main opposition - the Conservative Party holds 117, and the Liberal Democratic Party holds 71 seats. Several other political forces and independents also have seats in parliament.
