Keir Starmer: “Everybody wants peace, everybody wants bloodshed to end. Not least the Ukrainians.”

I think once you’ve been prime minister, it’s important to answer the question: what are you going to do next? Having decided I’m going to concentrate on international affairs, I think it’s right to step down.

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

Immigration is down significantly. Our defence and security are on a far stronger footing and our international reputation is greatly enhanced.

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