Keir Starmer: “I will stand in any leadership contest.”

I leave probably the most high-profile job in the country to the most important, which is to be the best dad I can to my kids and best husband I can to my wife.

I will go with good grace. I want my country to thrive, and therefore I'll do everything to make sure there's an orderly transition and give my full support to Andy Burnham and the whole of the government.

It’s about millions of working people they will never meet. Making sure that nobody else like them, ever has to suffer as they did.

The award was completely unexpected and very meaningful. It really means a huge amount.
