Interesting and informative biography about a man who went from cant win to cant lose. The book covers Keir Starmers youth, his job as a barrister, DPP, MP, Labour leader, and Prime Minister in waiting with immense detail and precision. Despite being dubbed 'Mr Boring,' I felt a side of Starmer we dont often see come through in the book, least of all his love of football and Arsenal, and his relationship with his parents. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to know more about the current PM

I have met Keir Starmer and the man I met (before he was Labour Leader) is the man in this book. So worth a read. - and I'm fussy about what I read.

Bought this and found it to be a gripping read, full of unexpected detail - really fills in the background of this man - he turns out to be someone with a moving past and someone I think most of the country will respect, if not admire. The book is fast moving and compellingly written, full of insight and illumination. Well worth the money!

I wanted to know who this ‘quiet man’ is now that he is our Prime Minister. For the first time in decades I have hope that our country is going to be governed for everyone and not just for a few groups. What an interesting and amazing man, the right man for the job - at last!

So refreshing to read a biography that clearly tells the truth with the co-operation of the subject. Well written book about a complex (but never boring) man who is now our prime Minister.

I wouldn’t normally buy a book at this stage of someone’s political career, but Keir Starmer It’s something of an enigma. Having read this book I now feel I know the man and his motivations far more he may not be a classic politician, more a lawyer, But I now understand the values that drive him and help convince me that when in Office he will bring about change.
