From humble beginnings in Southwark to the halls of power, "Keir Starmer: A British Life" traces the remarkable journey of the man who became the first Labour Prime Minister in a generation. This biography delves into the experiences that shaped Starmer, from his working-class upbringing and his parents' contrasting political and religious beliefs, to his education at Reigate Grammar School, the University of Leeds, and Oxford. His early passion for music and his teenage activism in the Labour Party Young Socialists foreshadowed his future dedication to public service. The book chronicles Starmer's distinguished legal career, starting at the Middle Temple and his human rights work with Liberty. It details his involvement in landmark cases like McLibel, his pro bono work challenging the death penalty in the Caribbean, and his role advising on policing in Northern Ireland amidst the backdrop of the Good Friday Agreement. His outspoken opposition to the Iraq War and his subsequent appointment as Director of Public Prosecutions showcase his unwavering commitment to justice and the rule of law. The book examines Starmer's handling of major cases during his time as DPP, including the Stephen Lawrence murder case, the parliamentary expenses scandal, and the 2011 riots, along with his response to the Jimmy Savile scandal and the ensuing Operation Yewtree. Moving from the courtroom to the political arena, this biography charts Starmer's rise within the Labour Party. From his election as MP for Holborn and St Pancras, his navigation of the Brexit debate as Shadow Brexit Secretary, to the challenges of the 2019 general election and his eventual victory in the 2020 Labour leadership contest, the book provides a compelling account of his political evolution. The narrative culminates in his successful 2024 general election campaign, exploring his policy positions, and his formation of a new government, offering a glimpse into the defining characteristics of "Starmerism" and its potential impact on Britain's future.
