Rumors started circling late last week that Keir Starmer would be resigning from the position of Prime Minister in the United Kingdom after just two short, disastrous years in the position.
The rumors reached all the way to the Oval Office, where, 24 hours before any official announcement, President Trump told the world.
This was 9:59 a.m. EDT yesterday:
Not quite 24 hour later, Starmer caught up with the news that he was indeed resigning.
Here's the CBS News with more on the resignation:
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Monday that he was resigning from his position as the leader of the ruling Labour Party, which will also see him replaced as the country's leader.
Starmer has been under mounting pressure to resign for weeks, following a disastrous round of local elections for his party in early May, but his decision came after a political rival from within Labour, former Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, made it clear that he would challenge the prime minister for his job.
Starmer had an impressive -46% approval rating (yes, that's NEGATIVE 46 percent).
Another June 2026 YouGov poll revealed only 18% of the country said he was doing well, versus 74% that said he was doing badly.
That's why the internet is full of memes like this:
Starmer is accused of plunging the nation into chaos and economic ruin after spending years ignoring the mass rape of British girls by Muslim migrants.
His government has imposed stricter taxes and burdens on its citizens while giving free money and housing to illegal migrants.
Farmers now face an inheritance tax that will allow the government to strip historic farmland from their children when the farmers die.
Legendary TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson, who runs a farm featured on a hit Amazon Prime Video show, made his thoughts about Starmer's government clear when he made an effigy of the prime minister for Guy Fawkes Day:
Rupert Lowe, the leader of the Restore Britain Party, had this to say:
No really, he has zero sympathy:
Nigel Farage of the Reform UK Party, which took well over a thousand local council seats from Starmer's Labor Party in May, is now calling for a general election.
Britain does not have to hold elections on an appointed year or day. If the coalition of the majority party is weak, it may very well trigger a nationwide election to choose a new government.
The UK has now had six prime ministers resign in a decade.
The country is absolutely coming apart at the seams:
The man favored to become Labour's next leader (and therefore the prime minister) is Andy Burnham, who was seen leaving Manchester for London after Starmer resigned:
Burnham recently said that Restore is not ready for a general election, so he may trigger one to put that to the test.
We'll have to see what the people of Great Britain do next.
Can she be saved?
