Keir Starmer: “When the world is arming and aggression is rising, the best way to avoid war is to prepare for it.”

They have been resolute in their support for me, firstly in becoming an MP and then becoming the leader of Labour party and then as prime minister.

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

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.

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.
