Keir Starmer: “I'm not going to walk away from that. I'm very clear about that.”

It’s work I started before I became an MP and it’s work I’m keen to continue after I’m an MP.

I will now focus on other things and that will be international affairs including defence, security, trade and technology in a fast-changing world.

I will also continue, as I have done for a long time now with others, to work on combating violence against women and girls; that is an issue that matters to me hugely.

They have been resolute in their support for me, firstly in becoming an MP and then becoming the leader of Labour party and then as prime minister.
