What's gone wrong for Keir Starmer - and can he get things back on track?

What's gone wrong for Keir Starmer - and can he get things back on track?

It is just over a year since Keir Starmer’s Labour Party won a huge majority and took power in London, but Starmer’s political capital is already at a low ebb.


It hasn’t all been bad: most noticeably here, he has managed to repair the UK’s relationship with Ireland after the fractious Brexit years. But he has also handled the Trump administration and the EU with skill.


It’s at home where he hasn’t done so well. Some notable successes - on reducing NHS waiting times - have been overshadowed by a series of u-turns, mishaps and political miscalculations.


So what does the electorate make of him, and where does he go from here? London correspondent Mark Paul talks to Hugh.
