Keir Starmer: “a coalition of the willing.”

I'm absolutely confident when I say our support will not waver. And we'll see that in the coming weeks.

In six and a half years, I took our party from a historic defeat in 2019, changed it so it was fit to face the country and won a landslide general election victory in 2024.

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.

The British people understand what is being fought for here - freedom and democracy, values that we will never take for granted.
