Keir Starmer: “I’m so proud that she is sitting there and so should everybody in this country who cares about social mobility.”

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.

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

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