Sir Keir Starmer: “I was elected to serve this country notwithstanding difficult circumstances - that is what I am doing.”

It's work I started before I became an MP and it's work I'm keen to continue after I'm an MP.

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.

And so, under this attack, it is vital that we remember the greatness of the Britain all around us.

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.
