I will go with good grace. I want my country to thrive, and therefore I'll do everything to make sure there's an orderly transition and give my full support to Andy Burnham and the whole of the government.
We put the biggest investment into defence and security, and our international standing has been restored.
I am so proud of what Britain has contributed. That work will continue, and our cast-iron support for Ukraine will always endure.
Throughout this conflict, I have seen the incredible fortitude of the Ukrainian people and the iron will of a nation that refuses to be cowed.
