Keir Starmer Will Remain an MP After He Steps Down as Prime Minister

His spokesman said he will stay in Parliament, avoiding a by-election in his central London seat as Labour prepares for a leadership handover.

  • Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will remain an MP after leaving No 10 in the coming weeks, his spokesman confirmed, avoiding a by-election in his Holborn and Pancras constituency.
  • At Starmer's cabinet meeting yesterday, he told ministers 'this is the end of my journey,' while pledging to ensure an 'orderly' transition of power after announcing his resignation.
  • Labour's governing body is setting a replacement timetable beginning July 9, aiming to install a new leader by the July 16 summer recess when Parliament returns in September.
  • At Prime Ministers Questions, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch targeted Labour, prompting Speaker Lindsay Hoyle to reprimand her for inflammatory language directed at Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson.
  • Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirmed Starmer's defence investment plan will be published before the NATO summit in two weeks, maintaining focus on national security before his departure.
