Sir Keir Starmer was asked how heâs trying to be âmore appealingâ to voters ahead of a general election this year. The Labour leader spoke to BBC Breakfast on Friday morning, 16 February, after the party won two by-elections the day before. âIâm working on how to be the best leader I can be of the Labour Party in very difficult circumstances,â he said, referencing the 2019 election as Labourâs worst defeat since 1935 (he mistakenly says 2035). âThe progress weâve made from the worst result since 1935, to being now credible contenders, and thatâs all we are, for the 2024 election.â
