Keir Starmer resigns as prime minister and leader of the Labour Party, in a statement outside 10 Downing Street - watch BBC coverage at the top of the page

He says every decision he has made in office has been about "putting the country I love first"

Starmer thanks his "fantastic wife, Vic", describing her as a "rock". He also says he wants to be the "best dad I can to my beautiful children, who are my pride and joy"

Andy Burnham - who could replace the PM - will be in Westminster today to be sworn in as MP for Makerfield, after winning the by-election last week

LOL !

You beat me by 4 seconds !

[RandFan]

Remarkable..

I thought it’d be quiet here due to the time difference

[Reverend Wright]

Great to see this scumbag go, regardless.

Both fake UniParty Tories and Labour thoroughly discredited.

[Reverend Wright]

The isomniacs here on the West Coast are still up.

[Dr. Sivana]

He resigned? Now, if only he would be gassed, and taken to Portmeiron.

[Reverend Wright]

This is not the prison that scumbag deserves. Just the decision not to prosecute Jimmy Savile alone should be life in Belmarsh.

[Ciaphas Cain]

I should be asleep but I was still astute enough to catch the reference. Good job :-)

[Dr. Sivana]

It was all tea and seaside chess:

The “blacmange”, the most hokey special effect ever. “Help, I’m being mauled by an immense custard!”

🤣🤣🤣

The UK idiots are still likely to say it was only Starmer and his specific cabinet and will not properly blame the rest of Labour. So in the next general election over there, they will give Labour the edge to win.

You think that was bad. This is the photo of the first "Rover" . . . straight out of the Dr. Who school of special effects:

Re: "Wants to be the best dad he can be to his beautiful children..."

Therefore, I am going to quit my job, before I get fired from my job.

He says every decision he has made in office has been about “putting the country I love first”

…so UK women enjoyed being raped by third worlders?

He says every decision he has made in office has been about "putting the country I love first"

And which country might that be? Because I honestly can't tell. Iran? Pakistan? India?

Someone already had this satire up, done by AI and based on the Oasis song/music video of Don’t Look Back In Anger.

To be fair, he doesn’t say which country he loves....

[mewzilla]

If the majority, or even a plurality, of UK would vote for this, then why all those handy, dandy changes to UK election law since Brexit, hmmmm?

[Spktyr]

And yet Burnham got elected by a large margin to his MP seat less than a week ago... And they voted for Labour en masse prior - beyond the margin of cheating.
