Outgoing UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer marks the end of his time in office during his final Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) in the House of Commons. Multiple outlets report that Starmer tells MPs that “this is the end of my political journey” as he faces questions for the last time as prime minister. Coverage describes the session as a farewell to the weekly format known for confrontation between the government and opposition, where Starmer has repeatedly defended his administration’s record while taking criticism from political opponents.
Reporting also says Starmer plans to remain involved in politics after stepping down, but as a backbench lawmaker for the time being. Several accounts note he receives warm acknowledgement from Labour lawmakers, including standing applause, reflecting a generally positive tone within his party even as he continues parliamentary exchanges with others.
Sources agree Starmer is set to leave office next week following his resignation announcement earlier, after two years as prime minister and six years as Labour Party leader.
