Starmer resigns as British PM and leader of Labour Party

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"

Starmer says he'll remain in post until Labour Party 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.
