Keir Starmer: “We stand with Ukraine for as long as it may take.”

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

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

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

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.
