Keir Starmer: “Have brought us closer than ever before to ending Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine”

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

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.
