Keir Starmer
The Public Record
Politics should be about improving the lives of millions of people, not about personal gain, not about hiding dodgy donations, and I think the public will see this for exactly what it is.
Keir Starmer stepped in to stop FIFA from bringing forward kick-off at the Estadio Azteca, over fears the alteration could hand World Cup co-hosts Mexico an unfair edge over England.
We all want a country where everyone, no matter their background, feels they are respected for who they are.
Those decisions are a matter for the football World Cup governing body and should stay that way, and we are clear in that position … the prime minister supports the integrity of competition in all sports.
At the end of the day, the Labour Party is the vehicle for social justice in this country.
Any investment in a child, particularly in their early years, has the possibility of paying off for an entire lifetime.
It is a fight my successor must now lead and I wish them the very best in their endeavours.
I have always felt that the most basic responsibility of being Prime Minister is to leave the country in a better place than when you found it.
Did I want it to end at this point in this way? No, I didn’t. But I accept that with good grace.
