Keir Starmer: “I know exactly the fears that we all feel when we're thinking about this issue.”

I will go with good grace. I want my country to thrive, and therefore I'll do everything to make sure there's an orderly transition and give my full support to Andy Burnham and the whole of the government.

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've always wanted to fight for the people who struggle to be heard and struggle to be seen.

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.
