Sir Keir Starmer makes his final PMQs appearance as Prime Minister.
In the long procession of those who have stood at the dispatch box, Sir Keir Starmer took his final bow at Prime Ministers' Questions, marking the quiet close of a chapter in British governance. By Monday, the keys to Downing Street will pass to Andy Burnham, and with them the weight of a nation's unresolved questions. These transitional moments — brief, ceremonial, yet freighted with consequence — remind us that power is never truly held, only borrowed for a time.
- Starmer's final PMQs carried the charged atmosphere of an ending, with every exchange scrutinised as a last testament to his time in office.
- The looming Monday handover has left Westminster in a state of anticipatory tension, with Burnham's cabinet and policy intentions still largely unannounced.
- Political commentators and analysts are racing to assess what Starmer's tenure ultimately delivered — and where it fell short.
- The transition represents a significant pivot point for the Labour government, with the incoming PM inheriting both momentum and unresolved challenges.
Sir Keir Starmer stood at the dispatch box one final time on Wednesday, delivering his last Prime Ministers' Questions before his resignation takes formal effect on Monday. The session carried the unmistakable weight of a farewell — each exchange parsed not merely for policy, but for what it revealed about the arc of his premiership.
Analysts Adam, Alex, and Chris have been unpacking the significance of Starmer's closing performance, reading between the lines of his final parliamentary appearance for clues about legacy and unfinished business.
With Andy Burnham set to assume the role of Prime Minister by the start of the week, the country stands at a moment of genuine transition. Yet the shape of Burnham's government — his cabinet, his priorities, his governing instincts — remains largely undefined, leaving both Westminster insiders and the broader public in a state of watchful uncertainty.
