Starmer took over the baton from his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn in April 2020 with the pledge to make a “constructive opposition” in Parliament.
Leading the Labour party is not an easy job, the party’s former leader Jeremy Corbyn told LBC host Iain Dale when discussing Sir Keir Starmer s first year as Leader of the Opposition. You have to be inclusive of all people in the party and make sure their voices are heard and make sure the democracy of the party is going to be intact - because that s the absolute lifeblood of it, Corbyn said.

BBC s Radio 4 Today Programme host Justin Webb lashed out at Shadow Health Secretary Jon Ashworth and the Labour Party for their behaviour during the coronavirus pandemic. Mr Webb insisted the Labour Party would only support Covid measures when they already knew they were going to come into place. He added the party was often critical of decisions made in hindsight rather than in the moment, like with the Eat Out to Help Out scheme.
