Outgoing UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer makes his final appearance before Parliament, telling MPs he is bidding them “goodbye” ahead of handing over government to Labour’s incoming leader Andy Burnham. Speaking during what is described as his last weekly grilling from MPs and his final Prime Minister’s Questions, Starmer says he wants his successor to succeed and pledges his “wholehearted support” to Burnham. Multiple reports say Burnham is set to replace Starmer on Monday, following the conclusion of an internal Labour leadership process. Several outlets link the transition to expected constitutional steps: Burnham is expected to meet King Charles III shortly before being asked to form the next government. One report also notes that Burnham becomes the UK’s seventh prime minister in a decade, while others place emphasis on Labour’s longer fight within the party to replace Starmer amid signs of discontent. Overall, the articles agree on Starmer’s pledge of support, his final formal parliamentary appearance, and Burnham’s imminent assumption of the premiership through the standard handover and meeting with the monarch.
