Sir Keir Starmer: “We need to be really clear in relation to that and we need to fight it at every twist and every turn.”

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

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.

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.

And so, under this attack, it is vital that we remember the greatness of the Britain all around us.
