Keir Starmer: “The American ambassador should be summoned to explain in his words why an incoming US official is suggesting the UK…”

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

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.

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

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.
