Prime Minister Keir Starmer promised to be bolder to turn around Britain’s fortunes, making an impassioned plea to both his Labour Party and voters on Monday to stick with him and avoid a leadership contest he said would only bring chaos. Speaking at a community centre in London, Starmer all but admitted he had been too timid in tackling the myriad of problems besetting Britain since he won a large majority in 2024, and said he took responsibility for one of the worst defeats for Labour in last week’s elections.
