Keir Starmer: “U.S. support will remain critical and a U.S. security guarantee is essential for a lasting peace.”

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.

It has been a huge honour and privilege to represent the best constituency in the country and to have taken over from Frank Dobson, who was such a great constituency MP and a member of the last Labour government.

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.

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.
