The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election. 
I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace. 
Every decision I’ve taken has been about putting the country I love first. 
That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party. 
And when I leave the biggest job in the country, I shall spend more time on the most important job: being the best husband I can to my fantastic wife, Vic, who has been a rock by my side through good times and bad, and being the best dad I can to my beautiful children, who are my pride and my joy. 
Thank you very much. [cheers]
