The rules clearly define what qualifies an individual as Prime Minister, specifically requiring official appointment by the British Monarch and explicitly counting Keir Starmer as the first individual. The criteria specify that individuals are counted uniquely regardless of multiple stints and exclude caretaker or interim roles. The primary source is official UK government information, backed by credible reporting, and the end date of December 31, 2027, provides a definitive resolution boundary.
