Now let's bring you up to speed with some of today's top news stories. It's 9.51am here in London. Keir Starmer says that he is resigning as the UK Prime Minister. Speaking on the steps of No. 10 Downing Street, Starmer said the Labour Party will look for a replacement.
I have spoken to His Majesty the King this morning to inform him of my decision. I will ask the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party to set out a timetable with nominations opening on the 9th July and completed by the summer recess. In the case of a contest, this will ensure a new leader is in place before Parliament returns in September.
