Keir Starmer: “That’s not just a phrase, that’s reality. That’s not going to change.”

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

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.

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.
