Keir Starmer: “I will not tolerate this - he will face the full force of the law.”

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.

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.

Our public services are on the up, with the biggest fall in waiting times for 17 years. Children are being lifted out of poverty every single day.

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.
