Sir Keir Starmer: “It is our duty now to ensure that lessons are learned, that justice is delivered and that we choose unity and progress…”

It's not just the size of your army, it's how you fight a modern conflict.

For all the focus on individuals, politics will always be a team sport, and the changes we’ve delivered for our country and our party belong to everyone who has fought for them.

I want to thank once again my family, Vic and our children, my team, all the staff here and across the Labour Party, everyone at Number 10 and across the civil service, and everyone who has supported our efforts along the way.

I thank the British people for the opportunity to serve. I go with good grace. I go with a smile, and I go proud of everything that we have achieved.
