Keir Starmer

ARCHETYPE

The Reformer

Changing the system from inside it, principle turned into change.

Keir Starmer is The Reformer in its purest institutional form, a leader who changes systems from inside them. As Director of Public Prosecutions he modernised the Crown Prosecution Service around transparency and evidence-based decision-making. He then applied the same method to the Labour Party, methodically dismantling its factional culture and restoring discipline in service of electability. The pattern is consistent: patient structural repair over ideological performance.

IN THEIR WORDS, WHY REFORMER

The principle of what I want to achieve is clear: if you are anti-Semitic, you cannot and should not be in the Labour Party. No ifs, no buts.

I've got to do Kinnock and Blair's job in one term.

So let me be very clear: with Labour, Britain will not go back into the EU. We will not be joining the single market. We will not be joining a customs union.
