🚨 BREAKING: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announces his resignation

Speaking outside 10 Downing Street, Starmer said he would step down as both Prime Minister and leader of the Labour Party. He will remain in office until a successor is elected.

His resignation comes amid growing pressure within Labour following a series of disappointing election results and declining support for the government. Former Manchester mayor Andy Burnham is among the names being mentioned as a potential successor.

If a new leader is chosen in the coming months, Britain will have had its seventh prime minister in just ten years.

💬 “When I leave the most important job in the country, I will be able to spend more time on the most important job of all.

Being a better husband to my wonderful wife, Vic, who has been my rock through good times and bad.

And being a better father to my beautiful children, who are my pride and joy,” Starmer said.

Wim T. Schippers is overleden, reeds. Hij werd 83. Zowel op radio en televisie als in de beeldende kunst heeft hij legendarische dingen gedaan, die allemaal de ontregeling gemeen lijken te hebben, of het nu om Sjef van Oekel, Fred Haché, Barend Servet of de pindskaasvloer gaat.

Op 16 juni 1904 speelt 'Ulysses' van James Joyce zich af. In Dublin is het vandaag 'Bloomsday', genoemd naar hoofdpersoon Leopold Bloom; er wordt met allerlei literaire activiteiten stilgestaan bij gebeurtenissen uit het boek én het leven van James Joyce.

JFK gave best speech of his life, this week 1963, at American University:
“If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. . . .We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal."

Sterfdag van de bereisde E.M. Forster (1879-1970), auteur van verfilmde boeken als 'A Passage To India' en 'A Room With A View'. Dat uitzicht verwijst ook naar het advies van Forster om een ruimere kijk op het leven te hebben. Zijn motto was 'Only connect...', zoek de verbinding.
