Sir Keir Starmer: “Thanks Peter. It's so good to be getting on with the job of governing.”

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

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

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.
