Keir Starmer: “We can't just spend more. We've got to spend better.”

It has been a huge honour and privilege to represent the best constituency in the country and to have taken over from Frank Dobson, who was such a great constituency MP and a member of the last Labour government.

It’s work I started before I became an MP and it’s work I’m keen to continue after I’m an MP.

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

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.
