Keir Starmer: Britain's New Prime Minister

A New Era in British Politics

Keir Starmer has entered Downing Street with a challenging to-do list. The Labour leader has promised to build a government of service after becoming the UK's first. In his first speech outside Downing Street he said he would serve the whole United Kingdom.

Challenges Ahead

Starmer's historic victory in Britain's general election has raised hopes among some that Britain's embrace of a center-left party could be replicated in France. However, he faces a number of challenges, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the UK's exit from the European Union, and the country's deep political divisions.
