Outgoing UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Wednesday pledged his "wholehearted support" to his successor as he prepares to hand over to premier-in-waiting Andy Burnham.

"I will give my wholehearted support to my successor. I want this Labour government to be a success," he said when asked what advice he had for his successor during his final weekly grilling by MPs in parliament.

"I want our country to be a success. I shall give my support privately if asked for, not publicly when not asked for."
