Starmer's Resignation Triggers Holborn Byelection Drama

Keir Starmer has resigned as MP for Holborn and St Pancras, forcing an 8 October byelection and opening a contest that has already triggered a Green nomination dispute. The vacancy is being processed through the Chiltern Hundreds mechanism used for Commons resignations.

🐿️ The Greens' internal split over Polanski could undermine their bid to turn the byelection into a progressive uprising, likely handing Labour an easier hold.
