Barring a major shock, Labour leader Keir Starmer will be the person walking through the famous black door of 10 Downing Street in less than three weeks’ time.
His parents were political, naming their eldest after the first Labour leader in parliament, Keir Hardie.
“He’s the first Labour leader in a generation to talk about class and snobbery,” Tom Baldwin, author of “Keir Starmer: The Biography,” told CNN.
Jeremy Corbyn, then the Labour leader, made Starmer his Brexit chief following the 2016 referendum.
Starmer, left, and then-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn talk to the media at the EU Commission headquarters on March 21, 2019 in Brussels, Belgium.
