Keir Starmer suggests he’s in office for 10 years Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to lead Labour at the next general election as he faces the possibility of a leadership challenge after the party’s disastrous local election results. Asked if he would lead at the next election and serve a full term, he told the Sunday Mirror: “Yes I will, and I’ve always said it’s a decade of national renewal, where the legacy we inherited was an appalling legacy on all fronts, not just the economy, which was broken.” The Prime Minister said his fightback, which starts with a speech on Monday and the King’s Speech on Wednesday, would include a “full throated” pitch to be closer to Europe. He told the newspaper that his plan would be “really clear that this is about the hope and opportunity of a better future, part of which is a stronger economy and an economy that really works for everyone, wherever they live, whatever they do. There are a number of strands to that, but one is, we have to be closer to Europe, and I just want to be full throated about this”. He added: “I feel that Brexit has held back our young people. They should be free to work, study, travel in European countries, just as I was able to when I was growing up. “That has been smashed away from young people because of Brexit. I’m not going to let Brexit stand in the way of their opportunities, and therefore we’ll push forward on that.”








We’re still waiting for the full picture, but there’s no doubt that these election results are bitterly disappointing for Labour in London.


🚨 WATCH: Keir Starmer says he will not "walk away" and "plunge the country into chaos" "These results reflect voters who don't feel their lives have changed enough. We were elected to do with that - and I'm not going to walk away from that"

To all the Labour members and volunteers who have supported local campaigns across the country: thank you. Together we will build a stronger and fairer Britain 🌹
