On Keir Starmer’s Resignation as Leader of the Labour Party

A Statement from Mainstream’s Interim Council on Keir Starmer's announcement today.

The Labour Party now has a chance to turn a corner and make good on our 2024 promise of ‘change’.

But we must be clear: this is our final chance. What comes next must be a genuinely transformative political project. It must be bold in its offer to the country, and resolutely opposed to the internal culture of insularity and factionalism that has taken Labour to this point.

We will be consulting our members about what they would like to see happen next.
