Leader says he has a ‘mountain’ to climb after 2019 general election but will take ‘full responsibility’
Keir Starmer has sought to manage expectations ahead of what he admitted will be a “very important set of elections for [Labour]”, but promised he would take “full responsibility” for his party across the country.
The Labour leader is fighting to rebuild the party and prove that, just over a year since taking over from Jeremy Corbyn, he is changing its profile with voters enough to switch from opposition to government at the next general election – in no more than three years’ time.
