British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced he will resign as leader of the Labour Party amid mounting pressure from within his own ranks.
In his resignation statement, Starmer defended his record, saying his goal had been to “change Britain for the better,” restore the country’s reputation abroad, secure trade deals and stand with Ukraine.
But political risk consultant and lawyer Adriel Kasonta tells RT the resignation is not simply a Labour Party crisis — it is a symptom of deeper systemic failure in British politics. He argues the UK has been trapped in economic decline, public dissatisfaction and political instability since Brexit, with the same establishment figures circulating between the same political forces.
