Sir Keir Starmer: “That's not just a phrase, that's reality.”

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

My work is done. In six-and-a-half years, I took our party from a historic defeat in 2019, changed it so it was fit to face the country, and won a landslide general election victory in 2024.

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

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.
