Sir Keir Starmer will be answering questions from MPs after his resignation on Monday.
In a statement outside 10 Downing Street, Sir Keir said his party had asked: “Whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election”.
He said: “I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace.”
Defending his record, he pledged to give his successor “my full and unequivocal support, knowing that they will inherit a Britain that is far stronger and fairer than the one I inherited two years ago”.
