Former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is to quit Parliament saying he felt it was the “right time” to step down as an MP and focus on new work on international affairs.

Sir Keir was replaced by Andy Burnham as prime minister and Labour leader in July after losing the support of his party in the wake of dire local election results.

Sir Keir will step down as the MP for Holborn and St Pancras, he told the Camden New Journal.
