Keir Starmer is the leader of the Labour Party but not yet the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
He took on this role in April 2020 after winning a leadership election, succeeding Jeremy Corbyn.
Starmer, known for his background as a human rights lawyer and as a Member of Parliament for Holborn and St Pancras since 2015, aims to rejuvenate the Labour Party after recent electoral setbacks.
Starmer has outlined several key promises and policies:
He advocates for a second referendum to let the public decide on any Brexit deal negotiated with the European Union.
He emphasizes protecting workers’ rights and environmental standards post-Brexit and wants a close economic relationship with the EU.
Starmer proposes boosting investment in public services like healthcare and education.
He supports higher taxes on big businesses and wealthy individuals to pay for these improvements, aiming for a fairer distribution of wealth.
Central to Starmer’s plans is reducing inequality in healthcare, education, and housing, aiming for a fairer society where everyone has access to essential services and opportunities.
He prioritizes tackling climate change by setting ambitious goals for cutting carbon emissions and investing in renewable energy sources. His policies aim to protect the environment and move towards a sustainable economy.
Starmer stresses the need for better policing and reforms to the justice system. He wants to improve community policing, tackle violent crime, and ensure fairness for all in the legal process.
Starmer supports a cooperative approach with other countries. He wants strong ties with global partners, promoting human rights and tackling global issues like poverty and conflict.
While Starmer’s leadership of the Labour Party shows a commitment to progressive policies, including Brexit, economic reform, social justice, climate change, and international cooperation, he has not yet become Prime Minister.
His vision and policies are likely to influence future debates and decisions in British politics as the country moves forward.
