Analysis of Keir Starmer's body language during first speech at No.10

Sir Keir Starmer appeared to have had 'any traces of hubris surgically removed from his body language' as he gave his first speech in Downing Street, an expert has said.

The new Prime Minister only seemed to smile before and after his speech as he promised to rebuild trust and restore hope following a landslide Labour victory.

Sir Keir said the British had voted 'decisively for change' and the UK could 'move forward together' as Labour took office following 14 years of Conservative rule.

Analysing his speech, body language expert Judi James told MailOnline that there were 'handshakes, hugs and kisses' on his approach to the Downing Street lectern.

But she said he then 'seemed to deliberately avoid signals of the kind of gushing, celebrity-style euphoria and excitement that Blair's 1997 victory was famous for'.
