Sir Keir Starmer has confirmed he will resign as Prime Minister just two years after leading Labour to a landslide election victory.
He announced his timetable of resignation outside Downing Street this morning.
The resignation makes him the shortest serving Labour Prime Minister in history.
"Every decision I have 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," he said.
