Sir Keir Starmer (born 2 September 1962, Southwark, London) is the leader of the Labour Party in the United Kingdom. He succeeded Jeremy Corbyn in this position. Before adopting post as Labour leader, he served as Shadow Brexit secretary. Prior to working in politics, he worked as a barrister.
Starmer is a hypocrite who decried Tory politicians for breaking lockdown during the CCP pandemic of the 2020s, despite him doing this himself by drinking beer and eating curry with friends in Durham. As a result of this scandal, dubbed Beergate, Starmer was nicknamed Sir Beer Korma by Boris Johnson.[1]
Although unable to identify what a woman is, Starmer is nevertheless content with advancing the trans agenda and making it easier for people to change their genders.[2] Starmer believes in stricter gun control in the UK, despite that country already having some of the most totalitarian.[3] Despite abandoning some the communistic policies of his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn, Starmer is nevertheless committed to socialism and globalism, as evidenced by him saying at the 2023 World Economic Forum that he prefers Davos to Westminster[4] and admission which, as Paul Embery states, "exposes the liberal-left's preference for technocracy over democracy".[5]

History
Labour Leadership (2020-present)
In April 2021, Keir Starmer was photographed drinking beer and eating curry with colleagues, during which time indoor gatherings were banned. Starmer was consequently nicknamed "Sir Beer Korma" by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.[6]
At the 2023 World Economic Forum summit, Starmer announced that he would ban any new investment into North Sea oil and gas. Darren Grimes described this policy as "an egregious act of self-harm" and pointed out that it would make the UK poorer, colder and more dependent on foreign powers.[7][8]
Following some impressive gains for the Labour Party in the UK local elections held on 4 May 2023, Keir Starmer predicted that Labour would win the next UK general election, saying "we are on course for a Labour majority at the next general election". However, senior British political scientist Professor John Curtice said 5 May that this was by no means certain as Labour was still having to "share the spoils" with other opposition parties.[9]
Keir Starmer was accused of racism on 10 January 2024, as he said that British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who is of Indian descent, "doesn't get Britain". Nadhim Zahawi, an Iraqi-British Member of Parliament, said of the remarks "I flinched when I heard the leader of His Majesty’s Most Loyal Opposition trot out the sort of line that I’ve had to deal with all my life. Not only is the Prime Minister as British as anyone else, those of us who come from immigrant families or who came here and made the UK our homes know exactly what makes Britain Great. And sadly it’s many of the things that Sir Keir seems to so dislike about our wonderful country."[10]
Policy and views
Starmer identifies as a "socialist", and supports social ownership and investment in the UK's public services. On the other hand, he is responsible for purging several of the more extreme left elements of the Labour Party's ideology that re-emerged under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, and expelled numerous far-left party members in 2020.[11]
Immigration
Keir Starmer said November 2022 that the UK should be "weaned off" its dependency on inwards migration, which according to Nigel Farage puts left-wing Labour to the right of the ineffective 'right-wing' Tory party on this issue.[12]
Social issues
On the trans agenda, Starmer appears unable to answer the question of whether women can have penises.[13]
Personal life
Starmer is an atheist; he stated that he doesn't believe in God, but stated that he has "a lot of time and respect for faith".[14]
