Downing Street has confirmed that Keir Starmer will remain a Member of Parliament after stepping down as UK prime minister. The announcement came as political attention shifted toward potential successor Andy Burnham. During Prime Minister’s Questions, Starmer defended his government's record while Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch continued her criticism. Meanwhile, Labour minister Darren Jones ruled out running for the party leadership. Starmer also attended a meeting of European leaders in Berlin, where he discussed defence and support for Ukraine. Labour MP Tulip Siddiq said Starmer wants to continue serving the voters who elected him more than a decade ago. (PC: PA)
