Sir Keir Starmer: “When we have a terrible case like Henry's case, Henry Nowak, we react calmly, as his family have done.”

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.

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

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.

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.
