Keir Starmer: “Notwithstanding the pressure that comes from elsewhere, I will remain laser focused on what is in the British national…”

Our public services are on the up, with the biggest fall in waiting times for 17 years. Children are being lifted out of poverty every single day.

I will also continue, as I have done for a long time now with others, to work on combating violence against women and girls; that is an issue that matters to me hugely.

Immigration is down significantly. Our defence and security are on a far stronger footing and our international reputation is greatly enhanced.

Since then, it has been the privilege of my life to serve you and this great country as Prime Minister, and I am confident that Britain is now stronger and fairer than it was two years ago.
