Milan, 20 July (LaPresse) – “My work is done.” Keir Starmer said this in his final speech outside Downing Street before going to see King Charles to formally tender his resignation as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The Labour Party “has gone from a historic defeat in 2019 to a landslide victory in the 2024 general election,” Starmer recalled, “since then, it has been the privilege of my life to serve you and this great country as Prime Minister, and I am confident that the UK is now stronger and fairer than it was two years ago.” “I am stepping down with dignity, with a smile, and proud of everything we have achieved. Thank you very much,” Starmer emphasised. He stated that his government had lifted children out of poverty, reduced immigration, strengthened defence and improved the UK’s international reputation.
