Keir Starmer

Keir’s upbringing in Oxted has shaped who he is today.

His dad was a toolmaker, his mum was a nurse for the NHS. Together, they taught Keir about the dignity of work and the value of public service.

For decades, Keir has stood up against the powerful on behalf of ordinary people who needed help. Keir is driven by his passion to make the world a better, fairer place for working people.

This drive led him into law, before standing as an MP and later becoming leader of the Labour Party.

Now, he wants to face the challenges of the future head on with a new plan for Britain, working with the Welsh Labour Government led by Mark Drakeford to build a stronger, fairer, greener Wales. Where everyone’s contribution to a healthy society, safe communities and a strong economy is properly rewarded.

That’s the difference a UK Labour Government, working hand in hand with our Welsh Labour Government, would make.
