Sir Keir Starmer: “For all the focus on individuals, politics will always be a team sport, and the changes we’ve delivered for our country…”

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.

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

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

I want to thank once again my family, Vic and our children, my team, all the staff here and across the Labour Party, everyone at Number 10 and across the civil service, and everyone who has supported our efforts along the way.
