Sir Keir Starmer: “And being the best dad I can to my beautiful children, who are my pride and my joy.”

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.

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

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.

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