News about Keir Starmer

Ella Morgan pulled out all the stops as she arrived at The Grosvenor House Hotel on Monday evening for the 2024 Pride Of Britain Awards. The reality star, 29, put on a jaw-dropping display on the red carpet in an eye-catching pink satin gown with voluminous off-the-shoulder sleeves. The draped number also boasted a plunging neckline to showcase her ample cleavage and a daringly high slit, leaving one toned leg on full display.

I have a recurring nightmare. It starts off well enough: I'm back in December 2019, and listening to the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, address the nation outside Downing Street after securing his whopping majority to 'Get Brexit Done'. Suddenly, however, dark, thunderous clouds cast a shadow over that happy scene. In a faraway land, a virus has escaped from a Chinese lab and begun to spread across the world. Lightning strikes, and I hear the low and terrible rumble of a distant convoy - then see Russian tanks looming over the horizon. Keir Starmer, arm-in-arm with Angela Rayner, stares into the windows of 10 Downing Street, hungry for power, with Sue Gray lurking close behind them.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: The King's new Lord Chamberlain, former Conservative MP Richard Benyon (left), has a lucrative sideline renting his country pile Englefield House (right) for movies such as The King's Speech and Star Wars TV series The Acolyte.  It also featured in Midsomer Murders, a favourite of the late Queen.  Surely Lord Benyon won't persuade Charles to raise revenue by letting Buckingham Palace feature in a show with more homicides per head than any part of the UK.

Gladiators Livi Sheldon and Ella-Mae Rayner looked incredible as they attended the 2024 Pride Of Britain Awards on Monday evening.  Walking the red carpet at The Grosvenor House Hotel in London, the athletes both opted for gowns with thigh-high leg slits.  Livi, 30, who is known as Diamond, wore a black dress with a semi-sheer lace corset top and a tiered skirt.

Keir Starmer voiced his support for the Daily Mail's campaign to strip deadly asbestos out of schools and hospitals yesterday. The Prime Minister said asbestos was an 'awful killer', adding: 'Whatever we need to do to reduce that risk, we absolutely need to do.' The Mail launched a campaign yesterday to rid Britain's public buildings of the dangerous substance, following a warning pupils and teachers faced a 'tsunami' of deaths after being exposed to the 'hidden killer' every day. Asked if he would support the campaign, Sir Keir said 'asbestos is a killer', adding: 'It's a very important question for today. So whatever we need to do to reduce that risk, we absolutely need to do. It's an awful, awful killer, not just a killer, but the way in which it kills people is just dreadful.'

Sir Keir Starmer has signalled that he will bring in further 'nanny state' measures to help prevent ill health. The Prime Minister gave the example of teaching children to brush their teeth as he suggested he could introduce more interventionist policies. He was also asked about the smoking ban he is planning to introduce, with further suggested measures such as banning smoking in beer gardens.

Christine McGuinness revealed the one thing that put her off dating when she became single after her split from Paddy as she attended the Pride of Britain Awards on Monday night. The model, 36, dazzled on the red carpet in strapless silver gown at the event held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline at the event Christine spoke about dating and revealed the one thing that made her hesitant to start again was that no one she knew ever had any good stories about it.

The stars of Strictly Come Dancing were out in force on Monday night as they attended the 2024 Pride Of Britain awards at London's The Grosvenor House Hotel. This year's cast dressed to impress in their finest ensembles and posed for a fun group snap while gracing the star-studded red carpet. And the celebrity dancers and their professional partners looked in great spirits as they took a break from their gruelling training to attend the glitzy event.

The former Love Island star, 27, was joined by the iconic bear on the red carpet at London's Grosvenor House Hotel, where he wasted no time in trying to woo the stunner.

No10 confirmed today that the Deputy Prime Minister would join other senior ministers on the crucial committee, in 'recognition of the expectation that [she] will attend this committee regularly'. Allies of the Deputy PM had voiced anxiety that she was being sidelined after she was only given a temporary post on the crucial committee in a break with regular practice. Other permanent members include Chancellor Rachel Reeves , Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Pat McFadden and Foreign Secretary David Lammy. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper , Defence Secretary John Healey and Attorney General Richard Hermer were also named as members.

Joshua Setipa (top right), former trade minister for Lesotho, insisted the Commonwealth should address the impact of the slave trade and colonialism. The intervention, in an interview with the Financial Times, comes as Keir Starmer (bottom right) and the King (left) prepare to head for Samoa for the latest Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting. Downing Street has already been forced to rebuff calls for Britain to hand out billions of pounds in slavery reparations ahead of the summit.

Allies of Angela Rayner (left) had voiced anxiety that she was being sidelined by Keir Starmer (right) after she was only given a temporary post on the crucial committee. However, the DPM has now seemingly been added to the membership - meaning she will be involved in discussions on threats to Britain. Meanwhile, Ms Rayner's supporters have been claiming a win over funding for social housing, with the Chancellor expected to allocate nearly £1billion in the Budget next week. In another apparent bid to play down the idea Ms Rayner has been shut out, they insisted the DPM - whose brief includes housing - was 'joined at the hip' with Sir Keir and Rachel Reeves (inset).

More than 140 people including peers, MPs, doctors and psychotherapists have signed an open letter to the Prime Minister with 'grave concerns about the government's plan to resurrect a prohibition first proposed by the Tories. They include Labour MP Graham Stringer and Dr David Bell, the former governor of the Tavistock Centre, which was shut down earlier this year after treating more than 1,000 children. Labour used the July King's Speech to propose a Conversion Practices Bill, which would block action to 'change, ''cure' or suppress' someone's sexuality or gender ID.

Buying in the post-war developments can save homeowners as much as £160,000 -  more than a third of the total cost of the property - in some areas. Across the country houses cost an average of £30,000 less when they are within the communities, which were created by Clement Attlee's Labour government following the 1946 New Towns Act. It comes as Keir Starmer wages war on England's green belt after Angela Rayner unveiled an overhaul of England's planning rules to help deliver Labour's promise of 1.5million homes by 2029.

The death of a baby when a boat sank on Thursday night was the 53rd fatality in 2024 - compared with just 12 last year. Last night Tory leadership contender Robert Jenrick placed the blame for the deaths at the feet of the Prime Minister for removing the 'deterrent effect' of the scheme.

Only three brief months since the 2024 General Election and already we can safely consign pretty much everything Labour had to say about tax during the campaign to the dustbin of history. It's not just that what Labour told us, po-faced, with faux honesty and performative serious demeanour, has turned out to be untrue. In many cases it was the opposite of the truth - in other words, barefaced lies - as we will find out to our cost come its first Budget on October 30. We were assured Labour's plans for extra spending were modest and fully costed - that there was no need to increase taxes overall, bar a few small, specific rises, such as VAT on school fees.

The Budget will reveal Rachel Reeves 's vision for the future of the UK, rather than that of Sir Keir Starmer, say allies of the Chancellor. MPs expect Ms Reeves to emerge from the October 30 announcement looking increasingly powerful as she sets out her plan for the economy, despite the tax-raising measures that are expected to hit families. The Budget will give the Chancellor a chance to stamp her authority on a political project that has so far lacked any clear defining purpose. With the Prime Minister faring badly in opinion polls following scandals over 'freebies' in a calamitous first 100 days in office, some in the party are looking to the future. They think that if Ms Reeves delivers a successful Budget, she will seem increasingly like a viable party leader.

More than 100 Muslim Labour councillors have urged Keir Starmer to end all arms sales to Israel. In an open letter, the Prime Minister was told by politicians from his own party that he had a 'moral obligation' to act given the growing death toll in Gaza. Their demand comes despite Sir Keir taking steps against Israel since his party lost several seats at the election to pro-Palestinian independents. The Government last month suspended 30 out of 350 British arms export licences to Israel - such as parts for fighter jets, helicopters and drones - over fears they could be used to break international humanitarian law in Gaza. But the letter published yesterday by the Labour Muslim Network stated: 'We are writing to you as Muslim Labour Councillors... to call for an immediate and complete suspension of arms sales to Israel.

Russia calling up North Korean troops to fight in Ukraine would be 'an act of desperation' by Vladimir Putin , Sir Keir Starmer claimed today. The Prime Minister admitted Ukraine was facing 'a difficult winter' as Russia continues its barbaric assault. But, speaking in Berlin following talks with the leaders of the US, France and Germany , Sir Keir added that Russia was 'getting weaker'. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he believes 10,000 North Korean soldiers could join the war, based on intelligence information. South Korea 's spy agency has also warned that Pyongyang has started sending troops to fight with Russia in Ukraine, as Mr Putin's losses continue to mount.

Sir Keir Starmer today told Israel the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar should be 'a step towards' a ceasefire in the Middle East. The PM piled pressure on his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu by warning the world would not tolerate 'any more excuses' over humanitarian aid for Gaza. He added there would be 'no military-only solution' to the regional crisis following his talks with the leaders of the US, France and Germany. Sir Keir spoke at a press conference in Berlin following a so-called 'Quad' meeting of the four leaders this afternoon. Their discussions in the German capital took place after Israel yesterday announced its military had killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

More than 100 Muslim Labour councillors have written to Sir Keir Starmer to demand an 'immediate and complete' halt of UK arms sales to Israel. In their letter to the Prime Minister, the councillors warned Britain 'must not be complicit' in 'clear violations of international humanitarian law'. They pointed to the 'tragic human toll' in the Middle East following Israel's bloody military response to the October 7 terror attacks last year. According to Palestinian officials, the death toll in Gaza has now passed 42,000 during the year-long conflict between Israel and Hamas . Thousands of people are also estimated to have died in Lebanon after Israel extended its offensive to its northern neighbour. The councillors' letter will heap pressure on Sir Keir over his staunch support for Israel's right to self-defence, which has caused frequent tensions within Labour.

The so-called 'Quad' meeting of the four leaders this afternoon is expected to discuss the war in Ukraine and the bloody conflict in the Middle East. The Prime Minister was greeted by Chancellor Olaf Scholz as he arrived ahead of the discussions. The planned trip to the German capital comes after Israel announced on Thursday its military had killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, presenting his death as a turning point in the country's campaign against the group.
