Starmer, who became an MP in 2015, ran for the leadership of Labour in 2020 after Mr. Corbyn, a leftist, resigned following the party’s defeat in the 2019 election. Mr. Starmer stood for the leadership race with an agenda of 10 key pledges, which he stated was ‘based on the moral case for socialism’. Some of the key pledges include an increase of income tax for 5% of top earners, restricting the U.K.’s arms sales, nationalizing the rail, mail, energy, and water sectors, a new Green Deal, strengthening workers’ rights, etc. The moot point is whether he would be able to walk the talk in fulfilling the agenda set.
