In a surprise move, Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has announced that he will continue to serve as Prime Minister until a new leader is chosen to replace him. This decision comes as a significant departure from the traditional practice of stepping down immediately after announcing one's intention to leave the position. Starmer's decision is likely to be met with both relief and skepticism from Labour Party members, who are still reeling from the announcement of his departure. As the party begins the process of selecting a new leader, Starmer's continued presence at the helm may provide stability, but also raises questions about his role and influence in the party's future direction.
The Labour leader says he will remain prime minister until his successor is chosen.
