“I am going to visit His Majesty the King to tender my resignation and bring my time as prime minister to a close. My work is done,” said the prime minister.
He noted that during his two years as prime minister, Britain had become “stronger and fairer.” In particular, Starmer cited a reduction in immigration, the strengthening of national defense, and an improvement in the country’s international reputation.
He also mentioned Ukraine.
“Today we face a world in which our enemies will stop at nothing to divide us—because of our values, our freedom, our decency, and, frankly, our unwavering determination to support the courageous people of Ukraine,” Starmer said.
