YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The UK's Labour Party declared Andy Burnham its leader on July 17, which gives the 56-year-old a straight shot to becoming the country's next prime minister. Keir Starmer announced his resignation as prime minister at the end of June — less than two years after the Labour Party stormed to a landslide general election win.
