WATCH: Starmer Gives Up on 10-Year Downing Street Dream
Keir Starmer appears to have given up on his decade in Downing Street dream. Back in January, he told Politico:
“We will see material change in the first term of a Labour government but we are talking about a decade of national renewal and I intend to lead from the front.”
Now when pressed by GB News’ Christopher Hope on whether he would fight the next election, he replied:
“You’re getting way ahead of me. I’m absolutely clear that my task is to rebuild our country. The security that we need, we’re getting on with that.”
A very different tone from just a few months ago. Meanwhile, a latest Survation poll puts Reform leading with 30% and Labour trailing on 25%…
UPDATE: Starmer backtracks and insists he wants the 10 years:
“Of course I am going to stand at the next election. I’ve always said this is a decade of national renewal that I intend to lead.”
