Sir Keir Starmer: “We really need to listen to Henry’s family, because they’re asking us, as politicians, as leaders, not to use his case…”

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

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.

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

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