STATEMENT: RESIGNATION OF SIR KEIR STARMER

Keir Starmer transformed the Labour Party and secured a historic victory in 2024 - one which has helped us to deliver huge changes. An end to the two child benefit limit, a new child poverty strategy and big steps forward to tackle violence against women and girls.

Whoever takes over from him must supercharge our delivery on the cost of living, ensure our coastal communities are given the focus they deserve and unite the country against the divisive politics we’ve seen too much of in recent years.
