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.
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.
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 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.
