Starmer's Resignation Triggers Holborn Byelection Drama
💡 Why it matters
This byelection will test whether Labour's strongest London stronghold wobbles without Starmer's personal vote, and whether the Greens can finally break through in a Westminster seat.
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.
