Today, as part of this process towards peace, I can confirm the U.K. will recognize the state of Palestine by the United Nations General Assembly in September, unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a cease-fire, and commit to a long-term sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a two-state solution.

I'm absolutely confident when I say our support will not waver. And we'll see that in the coming weeks.
I will go with good grace. I want my country to thrive, and therefore I'll do everything to make sure there's an orderly transition and give my full support to Andy Burnham and the whole of the government.
In six years we went from historic defeat in 2019 to historic victory in 2024, and in two years in government, I leave the country in better shape than I found it. I am proud of everything that we have achieved.
There is now I think a sound footing, a sound foundation, and the party can go on and win a second term, which is what I always thought we could do.
