Sir Keir Starmer Biography
Sir Keir Starmer is a British barrister and Labour politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from July 5, 2024 until July 20, 2026. He was Leader of the Labour Party from 2020 to 2026 and represented the London constituency of Holborn and St Pancras in Parliament.
Born in London and raised in Oxted, Surrey, Starmer was the son of a toolmaker and an NHS nurse. He attended Reigate Grammar School before studying law at the University of Leeds. He subsequently undertook postgraduate legal studies at the University of Oxford, where he received a Bachelor of Civil Law degree.
Starmer became a barrister in 1987 and developed a career specializing in criminal and human-rights law. He provided legal representation in a number of significant cases and later served as a legal adviser to the Northern Ireland Policing Board during the period following the Good Friday Agreement. In 2002, he was appointed Queen's Counsel.
In 2008, Starmer became Director of Public Prosecutions and head of the Crown Prosecution Service, a position he held until 2013. During his tenure, he oversaw the prosecution service during a period of significant institutional change and was involved in work relating to serious criminal cases and the treatment of victims. He was knighted in 2014 for services to criminal justice.
Starmer entered elected politics in 2015, when he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Holborn and St. Pancras. He held several opposition roles, including Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union and Shadow Immigration Minister. In April 2020, Labour members elected him leader of the party.
Under Starmer's leadership, Labour contested the 2024 general election and won a parliamentary majority. Starmer became Prime Minister on July 5, 2024, succeeding Rishi Sunak. His government focused on areas including economic growth, public services, national security and institutional reform.
Starmer resigned as Prime Minister on July 20, 2026, bringing his premiership to an end after just over two years. He was succeeded as Prime Minister by Andy Burnham.
