As Keir Starmer announced his resignation outside Number 10, the EU anthem Ode to Joy could be heard playing in the background.
The music was being played by veteran anti-Brexit activist Steve Bray, who told Channel 4 News he was drowning out "derogatory" heckling from an individual with a megaphone.
Oh my goodness, it was SO hard to say goodbye to everyone at the GMCA. 🥹
Thank you all for everything. I have loved working with you and will miss you so much. 🙏🏻
You couldn’t have given me a better leaving present! 🙌🏻

Unless I am mistaken, Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK is not an MP for any seat in the UK, he has never stood as an MP, he could have stood in Makerfield but didn't. Yusuf is a shit stirring grifter with nothing positive to contribute to this country. He needs to sit the fuck down & STFU, NOW!

Ce fut un privilège de travailler aux côtés de Sir Keir Starmer alors qu’il dirigeait les efforts déployés par la communauté internationale pour soutenir l’Ukraine, par l’entremise de la Coalition des volontaires, renforcer l’OTAN, améliorer la coopération dans l’Arctique et consolider le partenariat historique entre le Canada et le Royaume-Uni.
En tout temps, même face à des défis exceptionnels, Keir a agi avec intégrité, détermination et dans un esprit de collaboration. Grâce à ses efforts, le monde est plus sûr et les alliés sont plus unis.
Keir, merci d’avoir consacré ta vie au service du public. Je te suis reconnaissant de ton amitié et je te souhaite mes meilleurs vœux alors que tu te consacres désormais à ton « travail le plus important ».
I’ve known Keir since he was a lawyer. He was principled then, just as he is now, and throughout his career he has been driven by a deep sense of public service and duty to this country.
He transformed the Labour Party, rooted out antisemitism, restored trust and made our party electable again. He won a historic mandate to change Britain for the better and, most importantly, he delivered on that promise.
With Keir’s leadership, this Labour government brought stability back to our economy, cut NHS waiting lists, improved renters’ rights, began to fix the crisis we inherited in our courts and prisons, reduced small boat crossings, protected young people online, lifted half a million children out of poverty and restored Britain’s standing in the world. He put Britain back at the heart of Europe, stood firmly with Ukraine and rebuilt relationships with our allies.
Change promised, change fought for and change delivered. That is Keir Starmer’s legacy, and I am incredibly proud to have played my part in it.
@SkyNews Well done to all the billionaire media, social media & rightwing groups on sticking another blow to the demise of the UK The best Prime Minister in 17 years has just been pushed out. I can only hope Andy Burnham does a better job on promoting Labour achievements. Sir Kier Starmer
