Kier Starmer has delivered his final address from the lectern in Downing Street and said that it was ‘privilege’ of his life to serve Britain as PM
“My work is done,” he said. “I am confident Britain is stronger and fairer than it was two years ago.”
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.
‘We face a world now where our enemies will stop at nothing to divide us because of our values, our freedom and our decency and our unflinching resolve to help the brave people of Ukraine’
He said that he gives Andy Burnham his full support
“As I now pass the baton to Andy Burnham, I wish him every success,”
“I go with good grace, I go with a smile and I go proud of everything we have achieved,”
