In short:

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is expected to resign to make way for a new leader.

It is widely expected former Manchester mayor Andy Burnham will contest the leadership after winning a by-election last week.

Since winning office in July 2024, Sir Keir's popularity has plunged, prompting several senior cabinet ministers to tell him to go over the weekend.

Starmer knew what would happen, the people who backed him knew it would happen, and the next guy will be about the same.
