Starmer resigns as prime minister - what next for the UK?

Andy Burnham has been sworn in as the MP for Makerfield, having announced he will run to replace Sir Keir Starmer as Labour leader. Sir Keir laid out his resignation plan in an address outside Number 10 this morning, setting 9 July as the start date for the process to find his successor. He said he would ask Labour to set out a timetable that would see a new leader in place by the time Parliament returns from its summer recess on 1 September.
