The Labour Party arguably could have been lost, but I stepped up as leader and with others we saved the Labour Party.

We keep saying, and it’s true, we’re in a more dangerous and volatile world than we’ve been in for probably most of my lifetime.

I don’t think it is possible. So this suggestion you can really, in the modern era, simply split up the international and domestic, is just … it just doesn’t make sense.

It isn’t true. It isn’t right.

I want what comes next to succeed and I’m going to do everything I possibly can to make sure it does succeed.

But for me, and this may be different for other people, in the end it became an intensely personal decision.

My successor will have a platform to build on, which means that Labour can go on and should go on to win the next election.
