Keir Starmer has resigned as prime minister and leader of the Labour Party ,the BBC has reported.
In a statement outside 10 Downing Street, the PM says every decision he has made in office has been about “putting the country I love first”
Visibly emotional, the PM thanks his “fantastic wife, Vic”, describing her as his “rock”, and says he wants to be the “best dad I can to my beautiful children”
What happens now? Starmer says he’ll remain in post until Labour chooses a new leader, which he’s asked the party’s governing body to ensure happens “before Parliament returns in September”
Andy Burnham – who could replace the PM – will be in Westminster today to be sworn in as MP for Makerfield, after winning a by-election last week
