0:55Now PlayingOn the eve of polls opening in the UK general election, Keir Starmer allowed himself a moment to reflect on how far he had come since he became leader of the Labour Party four-and-a-half years ago. Back then, the party was reeling from one of the worst defeats in its 100-year history.
“The optimists said it will take 10 years to fix this party and get it back,” Starmer, 61, told reporters ahead of a final rally in the East Midlands. “The pessimists said you’re never going to fix this party, it’s never going to be in government again.” adding “here we are.”
He has now led the Labour party to victory, on track for the biggest majority in Parliament since at least Tony Blair’s New Labour landslide in 1997.
