For someone often derided as dull, Keir Starmer has delivered a sensational election result.
Starmer has led Britain's Labour Party to a landslide election victory, and on Friday will become prime minister — the first leader from the center-left party to win a U.K. national election since Tony Blair, who won three in a row starting in 1997.It's the latest reinvention for a man who went from human rights attorney to hard-nosed prosecutor and from young radical to middle-aged pragmatist.
The cases often put him at odds with both Conservative and Labour governments, so his switch to become head of the Crown Prosecution Service in 2008 surprised some colleagues. But during five years in the job he gained a reputation as a tough and hard-working director of public prosecutions.Starmer entered politics relatively late, in his 50s, and was elected to Parliament in 2015.
