Outgoing UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer delivers his final Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) in the House of Commons, telling MPs, “this is the end of my political journey.” Multiple outlets report that Starmer receives applause and, in some accounts, a standing ovation from Labour lawmakers as he takes questions for the last time as prime minister. The reports describe the session as a formal farewell before he steps down from Downing Street next week. Starmer says he is leaving the country in “a better place than I found it,” referencing his government’s record while fielding criticism and praise during the chamber’s regular adversarial exchanges. Several sources note that his comment frames his departure from frontline politics, even as he intends to remain in Parliament. One report adds that he plans to continue as a backbench lawmaker after stepping down as leader, following six years as Labour leader and two years as prime minister. Overall, the articles concur that the final PMQs serve as a public transition point as Starmer ends his tenure and prepares to return to parliamentary backbench duties.
