Who is Keir Starmer? 61-year-old former lawyer vows to boost Britain’s flagging economy | UK Elections

From being on the verge of resigning after a crushing defeat in the 2021 local elections, British Labour Party leader Keir Starmer is now on course to win the July 4 election, ending 14 years of Conservative rule and ousting Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Opinion polls show the 61-year-old former lawyer with a lead of about 20 percentage points. He has mended many divisions within his party by tackling Conservative infighting, enforcing discipline within the Labour Party, steering the party toward the political center, and running a steady, if unremarkable, campaign for the upcoming election.
