Keir Starmer: “His own party finally concluded that he's unfit to be Prime Minister.”

It’s work I started before I became an MP and it’s work I’m keen to continue after I’m an MP.

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.

I will also continue, as I have done for a long time now with others, to work on combating violence against women and girls; that is an issue that matters to me hugely.

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.
