Keir Starmer: “I am determined that we do everything in our power to prevent other families from suffering such a devastating loss.”

Our public services are on the up, with the biggest fall in waiting times for 17 years. Children are being lifted out of poverty every single day.

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 go with good grace, I go with a smile, and I go proud of everything we have achieved.

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