Keir Starmer: “Its churches, cathedrals, schools, and charities are part of the fabric of our communities.”

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

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.

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

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.
