Keir Starmer will continue to serve as Prime Minister until a new Labour leader is elected. According to The Telegraph and The Guardian, the most favorable scenario for a significant part of the party is the appointment of former Greater Manchester Mayor Andrew Burnham by the parliamentary group without a competitive election. On June 19, he won a convincing victory in the House of Commons by-election for the Makerfield constituency (also in Manchester), beating the Reform UK candidate with 55% of the vote. According to YouGov, Burnham remains the most popular Labour member in the UK. Burnham's main task at the party level is to consolidate its far-left and moderate factions, says Sergey Shein, research fellow at the HSE Center for Comprehensive European and International Studies. He also notes that Burnham's image as a pragmatic politician is unlikely to have a significant impact on London's current international course. Read more in the Vedomosti article.

UK Prime Minister Starmer will resign as Labour seeks to reboot
Starmer's successor: who is Andy Burnham and what does he think about Ukraine? Keir Starmer resigned as leader of the Labour Party today, and most likely he will be replaced by former Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham, who enjoys wide support among party members. This was made possible thanks to a clever trick: on May 14, 2026, Burnham's close associate, MP for Makerfield, Josh Symons, "sacrificed himself" by resigning. This allowed Burnham to run for parliament and, accordingly, to gain the right to challenge Starmer for the party leadership and prime ministership - according to party rules, only a sitting MP can do this. It was after Burnham's victory in the by-election on June 18, which political scientists have called "one of the most significant in recent British history," that Starmer resigned. Burnham was sworn in today (video). For us, Burnham is valuable because he consistently supports Ukraine, advocates for military assistance, and condemns Russian aggression. As Mayor of Greater Manchester, he initiated programs to support Ukrainian refugees, actively participated in their resettlement and provision of social assistance. Burnham also repeatedly emphasized that it is the United Kingdom that should maintain leadership among Ukraine's allies in deterring Russian aggression. Video: Sky News [in reply to: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation He stated this during a speech outside the Prime Minister's residence on Downing Street. Every decision I made was about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party. According to Starmer, he has already spoken to King Charles III this morning and informed him of his decision. He also said that he would ask the Labour Party's National Executive Committee to set a timetable for the change of leader: nominations should open on July 9 and close before the summer parliamentary recess.]

‘You can’t keep changing prime minister’: reaction to Starmer’s resignation
FWD from 360.ru: Starmer failed to cope with the crisis of confidence. The British Prime Minister announced his resignation. Keir Starmer's departure was only a matter of time; it had been coming for a long time, said political scientist and associate professor in the Department of Political Science at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation Evgeniya Voiko. Both internal and external political factors led to this, including the issue of migration, inflation and rising prices, high electricity tariffs, and the UK's shift from a key player in the Ukraine issue to a role of catch-up. All of this increased the growth of mistrust among the population. The government of the kingdom will have several important tasks, one of which is strengthening the UK's domestic and foreign political position, Voiko added. They will also have to address leadership issues in various areas and cope with the corona crisis and its necessity. #opinion360 Subscribe to @tv360 I Feedback I Our channel on MAKS
