I will now focus on other things and that will be international affairs including defence, security, trade and technology in a fast-changing world.
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.
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 go with good grace, I go with a smile, and I go proud of everything we have achieved.
