Sir Keir Starmer: “I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace.”

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.

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’m proud to hand over the party in good shape to Andy Burnham, and hand over the country in good shape to Andy Burnham.
