I’m about to visit His Majesty the King to offer my resignation and close the book on my time as prime minister.
So, as I now pass the baton to Andy Burnham, I wish him every success. He has my full support.
And so, under this attack, it is vital that we remember the greatness of the Britain all around us.
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.
