Keir Starmer faced his final Prime Minister’s Questions as Labour leader on Wednesday, with Andy Burnham reportedly nominated as his successor by 92% of Labour MPs.
Labour MPs gave Starmer a standing ovation at the end of the session, while Conservative MPs remained seated. His wife and two children watched from the Commons gallery. Starmer paid tribute to his family and said he believed he was leaving the country in better shape than he found it.
Earlier, Starmer held a final Cabinet meeting at No 10. Burnham is expected to take over in Downing Street on Monday; Starmer said he would support him and wanted the Labour government to succeed.
