Sir Keir Starmer: “I think that the last six months have been a real turning point because at the beginning of the conflict, everybody…”

For all the focus on individuals, politics will always be a team sport, and the changes we’ve delivered for our country and our party belong to everyone who has fought for them.

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

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.

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.
