Speaking outside 10 Downing Street Monday, Starmer said he is responding to the party's question if he's "best placed to lead us into the next general election", adding, "I have heard the answer".

In an emotional speech, Starmer said he will continue as Labor Party leader until his successor is elected, preferably "before Parliament returns in September".
