Keir Starmer resigns as UK Prime Minister: A lesson in lack of direction
Despite a landslide victory in July 2024, Keir Starmer became the most unpopular UK prime minister on record, with a net satisfaction rating of -66. He resigned on June 23, 2026, after a series of political missteps, internal rebellions, and a loss of public trust. Analysts say he lacked political instinct and a clear direction for the country.
