Sir Keir Starmer has resigned as Prime Minister. Starmer has set out a timetable for his departure as potential successor Andy Burnham returns to Westminster. Starmer appeared to get emotional as he thanked his wife, Victoria, for her support, saying being prime minister was the "proudest moment of my life". As part of his speech, Starmer said the question being asked is "whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election?" - and the answer given by the parliamentary party has led him to "resign as leader of the Labour Party". ------------------------------------------------ For more of the biggest news stories in the UK and around the world, visit the ITV News YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Subscribe to ITV News In Full on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ITVNewsInFull • Get breaking news and more stories at: http://www.itv.com/news • Follow ITV News on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en • Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.in
