Keir Starmer: “We’re having Cobra meetings at the official level to monitor what’s going on, give the appropriate advice.”

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 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 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.

They have been resolute in their support for me, firstly in becoming an MP and then becoming the leader of Labour party and then as prime minister.
