"I'm an Englishman in New York," says David Miliband, the former UK foreign secretary (2007-2010) who since 2013 has lived in New York, working as the president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee (IRC). An organization founded at the call of Albert Einstein in 1933, the IRC is helping communities and people in more than 40 countries to cope with humanitarian crises.

The decision of the British people on June 23, 2016 to leave the European Union is still a matter of discussion within the United Kingdom. 

Former British prime minister Tony Blair appealed to members of his Labour party to prevent a left-wing socialist candidate being elected its new leader, warning of electoral "annihilation".

Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg, the respective leaders of Britain's Labour Party and Liberal Democrats, have announced their resignations following disappointing results of their parties at Thursday's general election.

Miliband said he would step down after the Victory in Europe Day commemorations later on Friday and that his deputy Harriet Harman would be interim Labour leader.

Despite hopes that the public had warmed to him during a fractious campaign, Ed Miliband and his Labour Party suffered a devastating rout in May 7 British general election, triggering his immediate resignation.

With more than half of the results of Thursday's UK general election now in, David Cameron's Tories appear set to have won 329 of the 650 seats in the House of Commons, according to a BBC forecast.

The result would allow Cameron to ditch his Liberal Democrat coalition partner of the past five years and govern alone, Bloomberg said in its coverage of the news.

Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservatives looked on course May 8 for a surprise victory in Britain's general election which could redefine the country's future in Europe and herald more austerity cuts.

The Tories overcame all preliminary expectations and crushed Labour, thus affirming David Cameron’s stay in 10 Downing Street until 2020.
