Thinking of doing a ranking of all the resignation speeches in the last ten years. Cameron is probably top if you ignore how aggravating the insouciance was in retrospect. May and Truss were a bit pathetic in different ways. Sunak was solid enough. Only thing I remember from Johnson is the herd bit.

The speech genuinely made me a bit sad because he *still* has not got that the job of the prime minister is not to spend five years talking about the next election. He never realised he was not leader of the opposition and now he never will.

Starmer bequeaths to his successor a Britain that is stronger, fairer, and "better able to ensure the Labour party secures a second term in office".
A *Britain* that is better able to ensure the Labour party secures a second term in office??
