Who Is the Real Keir Starmer? | Lorraine

Now, he could be living in Number 10 Downing Street by the end of this year. With a General Election potentially imminent, and the Labour Party ahead in the polls, Sir Keir Starmer looks set to be the country's next Prime Minister. It's a very different picture to three years ago, when, according to a new biography, following Labour's by-election defeat in Hartlepool, he almost stepped down. So, who is the real Keir Starmer? The man behind the politics? Is he ready to lead the country? He joins Lorraine to lift the lid on his private life and reveal what he’s like behind closed doors with his family.

[@Trendycosmetics-os6gh]

You need to know politics. Starmer won't win GE over Sunak that will never happen. Sunak is pragmatic, Starmer is idealistic, Sunak is electable, Starmer is unelectable. Sunak is competent, Starmer is incompetent. Sunak has a plan he is tackling on and Starmer is stuck on the fence with no plan if elected.Starmer will destroy our uk. Starmer is weak

Who is an interviewer can someone tell Lorraine to shut up and let the guests speak without Interrupting.!!! it's so annoying . Let Josie Gibson take over . She doesn't do that.

[@martinafowler2231]

Lorraine did a great job, drawing out an incredibly intelligent, kind man, who sometimes doesn't come across that well in formal interviews. Thank you Lorraine.

[@DailyRantNet]

If you can describe him as kind, then this word now has a different meaning -

He is a member of the Bar. The Bar Council should disbar him for Supportiing Apartheid and Genocide. Immediately. Also as his first allegiance is to Israel and not the British state, he should be prosecuted for treason.

Seemingly kind and charming man who desperately wants power that's why he cringes before the power (nation, leaders of other countries) and humiliates the weak (counterparts, opponents).

[@TanyaJackson-no2rs]

Never knew his dad was a tool maker and his mum a Nurse! 🙄

[@regwedde]

Who is the real Lorraine??

[@lyudmilakutsenko7045]

He is so proud of being from the working class as if it's smth honourable. What is the difference. Working class makes objects, middle class makes money, upper class makes people. But he can't decide to which of them he belongs as he can't do any of them properly.

[@lyudmilakutsenko7045]

I'm a doctor and I make people, I'm working class, though I make some money. But I don't care about class system as I was born in the USSR. What I can't make properly is money. He wants to be upper class, but he is from Labour party so he tells about working class relatives as if this makes any difference.

[@lyudmilakutsenko7045]

He is a lawyer and would be upper class if he worked fairly in accordance with decency. But he is still working class as he makes objects in his profession. Pity. But reality.

[@evebeinguniquebeingme6205]

Let's just hope things get better if he gets in at least he has a normal background not silver spoon

[@CarlosBacardi]

Astonished at how little commenters here know about him, “lovely man” etc. Please, please research him…he is the most slippy liar British politics has ever seen, even more than Boris Johnson. This sounds absurd but please do. I’m a former Labour member too. Finally, what a dreadful interviewer Lorraine is too.

[@xxrocketrumblexx2853]

Finally someone here with common sense. All these comments don’t have a clue😂 research what happened in Rochdale

[@gillianslater9227]

A liar who loves Thatcher even though he claims to be the leader of the Labour Party.

Starmer is a man that I can say with absolute confidence that he’s a good and honest guy - he’s just not clear or honest as a politician, it’s very hard to know how he will be as Prime Minister

I was born to a single parent but I wasn't anxious about our finances. She did without. I did complain about the food. I would say my childhood was traumatic to a degree but not cos of finances.

[@Tom_murray89]

He's So down to earth

[@ParcBlondel]

Oh God, he loves talking about himself the same stories over and over and over again. How about talking about what he intends doing as PM, not telling us again that his father worked in (his own) factory. Mr Boring shows that he's really boring. We found out nothing new from this. Just like his gig on Desert Island, without the records.
