Emotional and with his voice breaking from time to time, Sir Keir Starmer dedicated a significant part of his resignation speech to his family, reserving special words for his wife, Victoria, whom he described as the "rock" who has supported him throughout his political journey.
Reflecting on his time at the helm of the British government, Starmer said that after leaving office he will focus more on his family and his role as a husband and father.
"When I leave the biggest job in the country, I will spend more time on the most important job, being the best husband I can to my fantastic wife Vic, who has been a rock by my side through good times and bad, and being the best father I can to my beautiful children who are my pride and joy," Starmer said.
During the speech, the British Prime Minister did not hide his emotions, while also thanking the friends and associates who have accompanied him in the last years of his political career.
Starmer said he was grateful to "all those friends and colleagues who have been by my side for these past six years for their extraordinary dedication, service and support."
He also expressed his gratitude to the staff of Downing Street and the British public administration, praising their work in the service of citizens.
“I want to thank the excellent staff of No. 10 and our country's extraordinary civil service, who dedicate their lives to public service ,” he added.
Starmer's resignation comes after a difficult political period and mounting pressure on his government. His departure marks the end of a significant chapter in British politics, as the country enters a new phase of political transition. Despite the challenges that accompanied his term, his farewell speech was dominated by personal messages, thanks and the importance he gave to his family, whom he described as the greatest support throughout his public career.
The expected resignation of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer marks the end of one of the shortest political experiments in modern British history. The man who in July 2024 won an overwhelming parliamentary majority and ended 14 years of Conservative government is leaving Downing Street after just two years in power, abandoned by MPs, ministers and a large part of his electorate.
