UK Elects Keir Starmer as New Prime Minister

Following the defeat of Rishi Sunak in early general elections, King Charles III accepted Sunak’s resignation at Buckingham Palace. Labour Party Leader Keir Starmer, who secured a landslide victory, was then asked by the King to form a government. Starmer, in his first address as Prime Minister outside 10 Downing Street, pledged to bring about change, restore respect for politics, and unite the country.
