Sir Keir Starmer wasted no time in getting down to business as he began his tour of the UK nations just days after being sworn in as Prime Minister. His first stop was Scotland, where he met with Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar and then went on to hold talks with Scotland’s First Minister and SNP leader John Swinney.
The discussions come at a critical time for the Labour Party, as Swinney’s party had a disappointing election performance. Starmer’s former chief of staff, Sam White, believes that the new PM took the “narrow path” to lead his party to victory in the general election.
This video from BBC News highlights Starmer’s early actions as Prime Minister and sets the stage for what promises to be an eventful and challenging term ahead. Stay tuned for more updates on Keir Starmer’s tour of the UK nations and the developments in UK politics.
