“Former British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Tuesday he will leave the House of Commons, triggering a by-election in his central London constituency. Starmer, who quit as prime minister in July after losing the confidence of Labour MPs following a dreadful set of local election results, said it is the ‘right time’ to concentrate on new work. Starmer had told the BBC in July he would remain an MP until the next election, but told his local paper, the Camden New Journal: ‘I will now focus on other things and that will be international affairs including defense, security, trade and technology in a fast-changing world.'” (09/01/26)
