Keir Starmer: “Putin should roll back his tanks, end his barbaric strikes, and come to the negotiating table.”

I go with good grace, I go with a smile, and I go proud of everything we have achieved.

It’s work I started before I became an MP and it’s work I’m keen to continue after I’m an MP.

In six and a half years, I took our party from a historic defeat in 2019, changed it so it was fit to face the country and won a landslide general election victory in 2024.

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.
