So let's hear more about this story.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has resigned.
He will remain in power until a successor is chosen by the ruling Labour Party.
He won a large election victory in 2024, but his popularity has dropped since then.
Many people believe his government have made a number of mistakes.
His party lost heavily in recent local elections and some important figures in the Labour Party called on him to resign.
Andy Burnham, until recently Mayor of Greater Manchester, is expected to become the next Prime Minister.
Burnham became a Member of Parliament again after winning a by-election last week.
