Stating the obvious: this one doesn't count towards the Accountability Score.

What they posted

BREAKING: Keir Starmer cries as he resigns as UK Prime Minister. Sad end to a dismal tenure. Never seen such a big election win end in such abject failure so fast. Bottom line: he wanted power but didn’t know how to lead the country. He was the ultimate man without a plan. https://t.co/4yWLGgisqn

Why it's Truth

BBC, AP, Reuters, POLITICO and NYT all confirm the June 22, 2026 resignation announcement and describe Starmer as emotional or fighting back tears in the speech.
