00:00Let me make my position absolutely clear. I am stepping down after two years, leaving the country in a better
00:07position than when I found it.
00:10I will do that with good grace, and I will do that making sure that there is an orderly transition,
00:17and that is what I'm going to do.
00:19I'm going to be professional. I'm going to have at the foremost in my mind the sense of service and
00:24duty that has driven me as Prime Minister.
00:27I will continue to faithfully serve my country to make sure that any disruption is absolutely minimised, and that's why
00:35I'm taking steps now to ensure that that can be done in a sensible way.
00:40I will do it in good grace. I will do it faithfully serving my country.
00:46It is the privilege of my life to have been and to be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom,
00:52and I remind myself of that every single day.
