Watch as outgoing UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigns from the role, paving the way for Andy Burnham, the former Greater Manchester mayor, to take over.

Andy Burnham will formally become the UK's prime minister on Monday after King Charles III invites him to form a government, marking another chapter in a period of political upheaval that has seen seven prime ministers in a decade.
