Keir Starmer: “I am ready and willing to put British troops on the ground to help guarantee its security as part of a peace deal.”

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.

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.

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.

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