Today, Keir Starmer has resigned as Prime Minister.

Speaking outside number 10 on Monday morning the Prime Minister said he accepted that his party does not believe he is best placed to lead the country at the next general election. In an emotional speech he also thanked his wife and said he wanted to be the "best dad I can to my beautiful children".

Meanwhile, Andy Burnham has arrived in Westminster to be sworn in as the new MP for Makerfield. Burnham has confirmed he’ll stand to replace Starmer, and is currently the only candidate after Wes Streeting announced he was now backing Burnham.

James, Chris and Joe discuss another momentous day in Westminster.
