British Prime Minister Keir Starmer won his job after leading his party to a massive victory in 2024. Less than two years later, he resigned as his party rebelled in the wake of widespread losses in local elections. It coincides with the tenth anniversary of the Brexit vote, which led to the resignation of Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron. FRANCE 24's Benedicte Paviot and Rochelle Ferguson-Bouyahi look at how the UK's relationship with the EU will weigh on Starmer's successor, and what led Starmer to resignation.
