Sir Keir Starmer: “The resolve of the UK will remain the same - We will not waver.”

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

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.

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.

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.
