Ousted UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to quit domestic politics

Former UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced his decision to resign from Parliament, marking the end of his 11-year tenure representing the Holborn and St Pancras constituency. His departure follows his ousting as Labour Party leader after losing support from fellow MPs, with Andy Burnham succeeding him as the party's new leader. Starmer expressed a desire to focus on international affairs such as defense, security, trade, and technology. Despite his declining domestic popularity, he maintained strong ties with European leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron, particularly in relation to Ukraine. In the 2024 election, Starmer retained his seat with a significant majority, although an independent candidate opposed to Israel's actions in Gaza garnered nearly 19% of the vote.
