After a mere 23 months in the top job, Sir Keir Starmer has finally done the deed and quit. After spending years berating the Tories for constantly chopping and changing leader, fighting amongst themselves and looking inwards, Labour has succumbed to the same fate in less than two years.
Against the backdrop of Remaniac campaigner Steve Bray blasting out his EU version of Ode to Joy, the emotional outgoing Prime Minister described how receiving the keys to No.10 was the ‘proudest moment’ of his life. He hailed turning Labour from a ‘morally bankrupt’ cesspit of antisemitism to an electable party. Sir Keir claimed he wanted to ‘change Britian for the better’ into a place where ‘everyone is valued’. Railing off his so-called achievements, the outgoing Labour leader trumpeted lifting the two-child benefit cap – a policy he literally opposed initially – banning social media for teens – another policy he initially was against, improving workers’ rights, introducing new rental reforms and raising wages. Sir Keir’s voice cracked and he started to show a hint of emotion when he spoke about the support of his ‘fantastic wife Vic’ and returning to fatherhood duties following his exit from Downing Street.
