Keir Starmer: “This is a big moment for our country.”

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.

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.

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.
