Keir Starmer Shares His Vision For Britain – And Lets Vogue In On The Person Behind The Policies

As widely predicted, Britain woke up to a sweeping victory for the Labour Party this morning, making Keir Starmer the country’s first Labour Prime Minister since Gordon Brown left Downing Street in 2010. “We did it!” Starmer told crowds gathered at Tate Modern in the early hours of 5 July, as Labour’s electoral performance evoked comparisons to the party’s landslide win in 1997. “You campaigned for it; you fought for it; you voted for it; and now it has arrived.” He added, however, that “a mandate like this comes with great responsibility”: “Our task is nothing less than renewing the ideals that hold this country together.” For the March 2024 issue of British Vogue, the now Prime Minister sat down with Zing Tsjeng to talk party life, meeting his wife, Victoria, and the road to No 10.
