Keir Starmer: “I come to it as a parent myself. I know exactly the fears that we all feel when we’re thinking about this issue.”

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 am about to visit His Majesty the King to offer my resignation and close the book on my time as Prime Minister. My work is done.

I think the tide is turning, has turned, and I'm sure they will go on and win this.

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.
