Former UK PM Keir Starmer to step down as MP

Former UK PM Keir Starmer, who resigned from his post in July, has announced that he'll step down as MP for Holborn and St Pancras. "I'll now focus on...international affairs...defence, security, trade and technology," he said. Conservatives accused him of making "another U-turn having pledged to stay on" and prompting "a costly by-election for taxpayers" in the London constituency.
