King Charles received shocking news during a phone call this morning.
In an emotional address, Sir Keir Starmer announced his resignation as the UK’s Prime Minister after serving for less than two years in office.
He revealed during a press talk that he won’t be the leader of the Labour Party, stating, “I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace.”
Sir Keir shared that he informed King Charles about his resignation on a phone call.
For the unversed, the monarch at that time was at Highgrove, his estate in Gloucestershire.
The political personality also shared that the Labour governing party should set out a timetable to replace him.
Nominations will open on July 9 and will end by the summer recess on July 16.
“When I leave the biggest job in the country, I shall spend more time on the most important job: being the best husband I can to my fantastic wife Vic, who has been a rock by my side through good times and bad; and being the best dad I can to my beautiful children, who are my pride and my joy,” Sir Keir shared his plans.
It is pertinent to note that Sir Keir’s resignation was a result of pressure from within the Labour Party after the victory of Andy Burnham in last week’s Makerfield by-election.
