Sir Keir Starmer: “It is a duty, and I'm here to serve, that is why I came into politics.”

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

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

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