They crowded onto the steps in the 900-year-old Westminster Hall in Parliament to greet their newly elected colleague and potential future leader.<\/p>\n<p>Burnham posed for a group portrait and took selfies with some, including rival-turned-supporter Wes Streeting and Treasury chief Rachel Reeves. She seems likely to lose her job once Starmer leaves office.<\/p>\n<p>Loud cheers as Burnham is sworn in as lawmaker<\/p>\n<p>Andy Burnham has been sworn in as a lawmaker in Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>Loud cheers broke out among lawmakers in the House of Commons as Burnham returned to Parliament after nearly a decade as mayor of Greater Manchester.<\/p>\n<p>European Commission president looks forward to stable relations with the UK<\/p>\n<p>European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Starmer \u201cdid a true reset built on trust, without any question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the eve of Brexit&#8217;s 10th anniversary of Britain\u2019s departure from the EU, von der Leyen said: \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to resuming a strong and stable relationship with the people of the United Kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Burnham greeted by media frenzy as he arrives at London train station<\/p>\n<p>About 50 journalists and photographers waited to greet Burnham as he arrived at London\u2019s Euston station by train from Manchester, ahead of being sworn in as a lawmaker at Westminster.<\/p>\n<p>The former mayor of Greater Manchester told reporters that his \u201cpriority\u201d for the day was to be officially sworn in as a lawmaker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been very kind of sad for me today to leave Greater Manchester. The people have been brilliant to me over the last few years. I\u2019ve loved every minute of the role,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Britain and Labour Party would benefit if Burnham faces a challenge for the prime minister post<\/p>\n<p>A leadership contest would strengthen Britain\u2019s new government because it would give front-runner Andy Burnham the chance to lay out his policies before becoming prime minister, said Victoria Honeyman, a professor of politics at Leeds University.<\/p>\n<p>Burnham arrived in London on Monday to take up his seat in Parliament following a special election victory last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are Andy Burnham, you want a bit of a proper contest because these kinds of show contests where it\u2019s basically all decided are not necessarily good for anybody,\u201d Honeyman said. \u201cIt isn\u2019t good for the country because it doesn\u2019t really kind of wrinkle out all of the issues that people want to talk about. You don\u2019t really get a very good view of the individuals that are competing for the role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Burnham won\u2019t want the contest to be \u201ctoo bruising,\u201d she said, \u201cbecause you don\u2019t want the party to be criticized too massively publicly, and you want to be able to present yourself as being unified, which is very difficult if it\u2019s quite a vicious battle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why is Andy Burnham the front-runner to succeed Starmer?<\/p>\n<p>Because many people see him as the best person to defeat the anti-immigrant Reform Party at the next election, according to Olivia O\u2019Sullivan, the director of the UK in the World Program at the Chatham House think tank.<\/p>\n<p>Burnham\u2019s greatest asset is that he appeals to Labour Party lawmakers who were frustrated by the way Starmer has governed, O\u2019Sullivan said. The hope is that he will set out a \u201cclearer vision\u201d and connect with voters in parts of the country that are in danger of turning to the Reform Party, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Burnham was elected to Parliament last week after decisively defeating a Reform candidate in a special election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe won a very strong majority in precisely the type of area, the type of constituency that the Labour Party is worried it\u2019s losing,\u201d O\u2019Sullivan said. \u201cSo it may be that a lot of his appeal is centered in the fact that he seems to connect better with those voters and offer a clearer vision. But it\u2019s absolutely correct that that is not the same thing as offering a radically different set of policies or even a particularly clear policy program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian President thanks Starmer<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeir, thank you for all our cooperation, your support, and the joint decisions that have helped make our Europe and our protection of life stronger,&#8221; Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here in Ukraine, we deeply value Britain, and every meeting and every conversation we have had has always been filled with real substance &#8230; I wish the United Kingdom and all British people every success as well as realisation of your national goals. We have confidence in Britain.<\/p>\n<p>Keir, you are always a welcome guest in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reform UK leader calls for a general election<\/p>\n<p>Nigel Farage, who leads the anti-immigration party, wrote on X that \u201cReform demands an election, and we are ready to deliver radical change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Labour thinks it can shove another professional politician into No 10, it has another thing coming,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Farage said Labour has betrayed voters\u2019 trust, citing the Starmer government\u2019s unpopular welfare and tax policies and illegal immigration as examples of the party\u2019s failings.<\/p>\n<p>Britain\u2019s next national election doesn\u2019t have to be held until 2029. British politics allows parties to change leaders midterm without the need for a general election.<\/p>\n<p>EU Council president praises Starmer&#8217;s role in EU-UK relations<\/p>\n<p>Ant\u00f3nio Costa said on Monday that Starmer helped turn \u201ca new page\u201d in EU-UK relations 10 years after Brexit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe turned a new page in EU-UK relations,\u201d Costa said in a social media post. \u201cThe EU is committed to continued cooperation in this spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Starmer was seen as repairing relations with Brussels following Brexit and had helped schedule an EU-UK summit for July 22.<\/p>\n<p>But on Monday, the European Commission said they were reassessing that plan.<\/p>\n<p>Norwegian prime minister thanks Starmer for a \u2018strong and close partnership\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI respect the decision he has made,\u201d Jonas Gahr St\u00f8re, a fellow center-left leader, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe United Kingdom is Norway\u2019s close ally in Europe, and over the past two years our countries have grown even closer through important agreements,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/southfloridamovingguides.com\/?p=2919\">Qatar says gas export terminal blast killed 13 as workers tried to resume operations<\/a><\/p>\n<p>St\u00f8re added: \u201cWe have worked closely together to strengthen security cooperation in Europe and to support Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Burnham says the country expects \u2018stability and seriousness\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In a post on X, Andy Burnham thanked Starmer for his service and leadership.<\/p>\n<p>He said Starmer\u2019s decision to step down \u201cmarks the beginning of a transition and it is important that this process is conducted in an orderly and responsible way. I will put myself forward as part of this process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe country expects stability, seriousness and a continued focus on the issues that matter most and that is what it will get.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cPeople want to see progress on economic growth, cost of living, public services, housing and opportunities for the next generation. Political change should never distract from the responsibility to improve people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andy Burnham will run to succeed Starmer<\/p>\n<p>Former Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham confirms he will run to succeed Keir Starmer as Labour leader and prime minister.<\/p>\n<p>Wes Streeting, considered another leading contender, said he will back Burnham. That makes it more likely that Burnham will be selected without a leadership contest.<\/p>\n<p>Liberal Democrats say \u2018merry-go-round of prime ministers\u2019 needs to change<\/p>\n<p>Ed Davey, the Liberal Democrat Leader, said Starmer\u2019s replacement would have to change \u201cour broken politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe British people are sick of being let down by an endless merry-go-round of prime ministers while nothing really changes for them,\u201d he said. \u201cThis time must be different. It can\u2019t just be about changing who\u2019s in No. 10, it has to be about changing our broken politics so we can fix our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zack Polanski, who leads the Green Party, echoed that the U.K. needs a \u201cbold change of direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Referring to former Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham, who many expect to become the next Labour leader, Polanski said: \u201cThe time for half measures and sticking plasters is long gone \u2014 if he becomes the next PM, Burnham must be bold or he will be bust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>German leader calls Starmer a reliable partner<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe German government has always had in Keir Starmer a reliable and close partner in foreign policy questions, particularly regarding Ukraine,\u201d Chancellor Friedrich Merz\u2019s spokesperson, Stefan Kornelius, told reporters. He declined to comment on the \u201cinternal motives in Britain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the government believes a meeting that Merz plans to host in Berlin Wednesday of the so-called \u201cE5\u201d \u2014 Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Poland \u2014 will go ahead as planned despite Starmer\u2019s announcement. The meeting is meant as part of preparations for the upcoming NATO summit.<\/p>\n<p>Some key quotes from Starmer\u2019s resignation speech<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Walking up this street two years ago was the proudest moment of my life. A new Labour government. The first in 14 years. A page in our country\u2019s history turned after years of disappointment and despair. &#8230; The chance to change the lives of millions of people for the better. That\u2019s what I came into politics for. The journey to that point was not easy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election. I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question. And I accept that answer with good grace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery decision I\u2019ve taken has been about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party. I have spoken to His Majesty the King this morning to inform him of my decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will remain in post as Prime Minister until the contest is complete. And I will do everything I can to ensure an orderly handover of power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The curious sign of the lion and the unicorn<\/p>\n<p>Starmer stood behind a lectern featuring a crest with a lion and a unicorn.<\/p>\n<p>One is not a native of the U.K. and the other is mythical.<\/p>\n<p>Both have shared the distinction of being part of the royal coat of arms since the 17th century.<\/p>\n<p>The lion, although never living in the wild of England, is its national animal. The unicorn, though fictional, is Scotland\u2019s official animal.<\/p>\n<p>The two became part of the crest when the two crowns were united in 1603, when King James I ascended the throne in England; he was already King James VI in Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>Starmer is the sixth prime minister in 10 turbulent years of UK politics<\/p>\n<p>When he was elected in 2024 in a landslide victory for Labour, Starmer pledged to steady the ship and end years of political chaos under his successors, the Conservative Party.<\/p>\n<p>Starmer had succeeded Rishi Sunak, who held the top job from 2022 to 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Before Sunak, Liz Truss lasted only 45 days. Truss followed three other Conservative prime ministers: Boris Johnson (2019-2022), Theresa May (2016-2019), and David Cameron (2010-2016.)<\/p>\n<p>Formal contest to replace Starmer will begin in early July and could end in days<\/p>\n<p>Starmer said Monday that nominations will open on July 9 and close when Parliament breaks up for its summer recess, which is scheduled to begin July 16. The contest will be open to members of Parliament from the ruling Labour Party.<\/p>\n<p>Former Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is the leading candidate to replace Starmer. The question now is whether anyone will challenge him.<\/p>\n<p>If there is no challenge, Burnham could become Labour leader and thus prime minister soon after nominations close. Even if there is a contest, Starmer said a successor would be selected by Sept. 1.<\/p>\n<p>EU leader praises Starmer<\/p>\n<p>European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen praised Starmer\u2019s legacy after news of his resignation in a post online on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt can take many leaders years to grow into the statesman you became in just two years,\u201d she said on X. \u201cEuropean and Ukrainian security is stronger because of you. Thank you, dear Keir.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister&#8217;s speech ends on an emotional note<\/p>\n<p>Starmer\u2019s voice choked with emotion near the end of the brief statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election,\u201d Starmer said. \u201cI have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Starmer resigns<\/p>\n<p>British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he is stepping down as leader of the governing Labour Party.<\/p>\n<p>Starmer says he will remain caretaker prime minister until a new Labour leader is chosen in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Starmer made the announcement after facing growing pressure to hand over to a new leader who can try and revive the government\u2019s flagging fortunes. He has been in office since leading Labour to a landslide election victory in July 2024. In those two years, his popularity and that of the party have plummeted.<\/p>\n<p>As Starmer spoke, protesters sing<\/p>\n<p>As Starmer began his speech, protesters nearby played the EU anthem, Beethoven\u2019s \u201cOde to Joy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Expectations of a resignation<\/p>\n<p>Expectation is building that U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer will set out a timetable for his resignation, conceding to pressure from his Labour Party to hand over the reins of power.<\/p>\n<p>If he does, Starmer will be the sixth prime minister in a decade to stand outside 10 Downing Street and announce a premature departure.<\/p>\n<p>Starmer spent the weekend pondering his future following the victory of intraparty rival Andy Burnham in a special election for a seat in Parliament. Burnham, until last week the Labour mayor of Greater Manchester, ran with the aim of challenging Starmer for leadership of the party and the country.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/southfloridamovingguides.com\/?p=2917\">Man, 18, accused of fatally stabbing stepfather in northeast Miami-Dade home<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Burnham is due to be sworn in as a member of Parliament on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned on Monday, paving the way for Britain to have its seventh prime minister in just over a decade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2922,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
