Sir Keir Starmer: “I reject that completely, because tech should adapt to the needs of society, not the other way around.”

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.

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

Yet the thing I will always take away with me – the most humbling aspect of this job – is the front-row seat you get to witness the greatest things of this country in action.
