Keir Starmer is set to step down as Prime Minister next week after leading the Labour party for six years.

During his final Cabinet meeting on Wednesday morning, Mr. Starmer highlighted his proudest accomplishments in government, including advancements in the UK economy, enhancements to the NHS, and efforts to combat child poverty.

He emphasized that his administration had significantly improved the country’s international reputation by resetting relationships with the European Union, spearheading initiatives in Ukraine, and planning a mission to secure the Strait of Hormuz.

MPs from various political parties paid tribute to the outgoing PM, with Mr. Starmer promising his unwavering support to Andy Burnham privately if requested.

At the same meeting, Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy commended the PM’s legacy, praising his dedication, strong work ethic, and resilience.

In an emotional farewell during Mr. Starmer’s final PMQs, he received a standing ovation, although not all members of the Commons, particularly the Tories, joined in the applause.
