London, July 15 (Petra) -- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Wednesday that his appearance at Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons would be his last before leaving office, describing it as "the end of my political journey."

Starmer said he was proud of what his government had achieved during his time in office and thanked everyone who had supported him throughout his political career.

According to the BBC, the session took place in a cordial atmosphere, with lawmakers from across the political spectrum praising Starmer's performance, while Labour Party MPs gave him a standing ovation.

Starmer is scheduled to hand over the premiership to Andy Burnham next week after Burnham's election as Labour Party leader is formally confirmed.

Starmer also pledged to support his successor whenever needed and thanked his staff and all those who stood by him during his tenure.
