Keir Starmer: “I’m not going to walk away”

Our public services are on the up, with the biggest fall in waiting times for 17 years. Children are being lifted out of poverty every single day.

Immigration is down significantly. Our defence and security are on a far stronger footing and our international reputation is greatly enhanced.

I go with good grace, I go with a smile, and I go proud of everything we have achieved.

I think once you’ve been prime minister, it’s important to answer the question: what are you going to do next? Having decided I’m going to concentrate on international affairs, I think it’s right to step down.
