Keir Starmer: “It is very hot and obviously schools will have to take the appropriate measures and each school will gauge for itself…”

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.

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 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.

I will now focus on other things and that will be international affairs including defence, security, trade and technology in a fast-changing world.
