Keir Starmer: “Courage of Hillsborough families is humbling - making sure nobody suffers as they did”

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 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.

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 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.
