Sir Keir Starmer Expresses Concerns About Election's Impact on His Children
Sir Keir Starmer expresses concern for his teenage children's well-being during an election year but remains eager for an early general election, urging Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to set a date.
Starmer and his wife, who works for the NHS, strive to shield their 15 and 13-year-old from the spotlight. Despite the potential stress on his family, Starmer stands ready for the political battle and emphasizes Labour's commitment to a £28 billion green investment plan.
He credits his wife with being a major source of support and consults with her on significant decisions. While Starmer takes steps to protect his children's privacy as the election looms, he criticizes Sunak for not prioritizing the nation's interests in the election timeline.
The Labour leader challenges Sunak to confirm the election date, hinting at a lack of clear strategy from the government. The latest legal date for the next election is January 28, 2025.
