At the same time, Starmer&#8217;s foreign policy mistakes were not the main factor in his resignation, the former ambassador said. &#8220;It is tempting to believe that Starmer is paying the price for these cataclysmic mistakes but it is simply not the case,&#8221; Ford added. About 100 Labour lawmakers called for Starmer\u2019s resignation following the party\u2019s defeat in the local elections in May. Their numbers grew after Burnham won a seat in parliament last week.Earlier in the day, Starmer announced his resignation as leader of the ruling Labour Party. The party will begin a leadership contest on July 9 and conclude it before parliament reconvenes in September, he added. Starmer said he would remain in his position as party leader until a new leader is elected. Following this, former Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham announced his intention to run for the leadership of the Labour Party.
