In the upcoming July 4 elections in the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, is favored to become the next prime minister. Starmer has spent four years as opposition leader and has moved his party from left to middle ground. He was born in London and studied law at Leeds University. His parents named him after Keir Hardie, the Labour Party's first leader.
Starmer's mother had Still's disease, which required most of his father's time and attention, instilling a deep appreciation for the National Health Service (NHS) in him. He has pledged to improve the U.K.-EU deal while insisting there is no case for Britain to rejoin the bloc.
Starmer was once an editor of a Trotsky magazine but later put 'wealth creation' at the heart of Labour Party platform. He has used ambiguity to his advantage, with some people believing he was the inspiration for Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones books and movies. Starmer is married to Victoria and has two teenage children whose names are not made public.
Obama encouraged Starmer to be more vulnerable and open with the public during their Zoom calls. He has often referenced his modest beginnings as a point of connection with British voters.
Starmer was the first in his family to go to university, studying law at Leeds University. He has pledged to restore competency to government, nationalize some railways and utility companies, raise the minimum wage, tax private school tuition, improve public health system and offer free breakfast in public elementary schools.

Some political analysts have compared this election to 1997, when Tony Blair led Labour to a landslide victory after 18 years of Conservative rule. Under Starmer's leadership, the Labour Party has surged in the polls and gained support from both sides of the political spectrum due to his focus on stability and middle ground.
Starmer faced criticism for urging voters to support Jeremy Corbyn during the 2019 election but argued that he wanted to stay and fight to change Labour. After Corbyn led Labour to election defeats in 2017 and 2019, Starmer was chosen as leader in an effort to rebuild the party.
