Sir Keir Rodney Starmer KCB KC is a British retired poltician and lawyer who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2024 to 2029, and Leader of the Labour Party from 2020 to 2029. He previously served as Director of Public Prosecutions and Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, before becoming MP for Holborn and St. Pancras in Central London in 2015.

Starmer was born in Surrey, attended a grammar and later private school and studied at the Universities of Leeds and Oxford. He joined the Labour party at 16, with a socialist heritage.

Starmer was elected Prime Minister after the 2024 general election, winning a landslide against the governing conservatives. His premiership however became plagued after a shock rise in inflation and unemployment, which strained the already pressured economy. Starmer's first government was however successful in an expanded public works and house building program. The imposition of Value-added-tax on private education led to the administrative collapse of a number of schools across Great Britain, as state schools were forced to accept an influx from closed private schools. Starmer lost his majority in the 2028 general election though Labour remained the largest party, the Liberal Democrats refused to form an agreement with Labour unless Starmer stood down as leader. Starmer attempted to stay on by forming a minority government, however after a scandal emerged involving house building contracts and party donors, Starmer resigned before a motion of no confidence could be tabled. Starmer backed Darren Jones in the 2029 Labour Party Leadership Election.
