Every Prime Minister knows when they take up the torch, that the day will come when they have to pass it on. That day has come for me. This is the end of my political journey.

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