Keir Starmer left Downing Street on Monday, saying he was leaving Britain “stronger and fairer” as he stepped down as PM to make way for Andy Burnham.

“I am confident that Britain is now stronger and fairer than it was two years ago,” Starmer told reporters in his farewell speech outside his No. 10 office in central London.

“I go with good grace, I go with a smile, and I go proud of everything that we have achieved,” he added, before heading to Buckingham Palace to offer his resignation to King Charles III.
