UK Prime Minister's Position Outlined in Briefing Paper
Timeline of Labour Party Leaders Released
London, UK – 4 April 2020 – Sir Keir Starmer has been elected as the new leader of the Labour Party. Starmer, a barrister and former prosecutor, replaces Jeremy Corbyn, who stepped down following the party's defeat in the 2019 general election.
Starmer's election comes after a closely fought leadership contest. He defeated Rebecca Long-Bailey, Lisa Nandy, and Emily Thornberry in the final round of voting.
As leader of the Labour Party, Starmer will face the challenge of rebuilding the party after its electoral defeat. The party has been hit by a series of internal divisions in recent years, and Starmer will need to unite the party behind his leadership.
Starmer's victory comes at a time when the UK is facing a number of challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit. He will need to work with the government to find solutions to these issues.
