Sir Keir Starmer will become Britain’s first Labour prime minister since 2010. So, who is he? Starmer — the centre-left party’s 61-year-old leader — has spent four years in opposition dragging his social democratic party from the left towards the political middle ground. His message to voters was that a Labour government would bring change — of the reassuring rather than scary kind — after 14 turbulent years of Conservative rule.
” Starmer’s mother suffered from a chronic illness, Still’s disease, a type of inflammatory arthritis that left her in pain, and Starmer has said that visiting her in the hospital and helping to care for her helped form his strong support for the state-funded National Health Service. He was the first member of his family to go to college, studying law at Leeds University and Oxford, and practised human rights law before being appointed chief prosecutor.
