Sir Keir Starmer elected new Labour Party leader

Sir Keir Starmer is the new leader of the Labour Party.

A vote for Sir Keir indicates the party’s desire for a more moderate approach.

Jeremy Corbyn, 70, was Labour’s leader for the last five years.

He led the party to two election defeats – the last the worst since 1935.

Under Corbyn Labour was riven by an unclear policy on Brexit and ant-Semitic accusations.
