Sir Keir Starmer: “It was reckless. The MoD have done an assessment.”

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

I’m about to visit His Majesty the King to offer my resignation and close the book on my time as prime minister.

So, as I now pass the baton to Andy Burnham, I wish him every success. He has my full support.
