- Synopsis
- 'A limpid biography at its finest... interesting and necessary' Oliver Rhodes, ReactionWhen Keir Starmer won the Labour Party Leadership election in April 2020, the expectation was that he would quickly become a fierce Leader of the Opposition. Instead, his performance was not as sure-footed as his supporters had hoped for, or his opponents feared. Nigel Cawthorne attended Starmer’s grammar school a few years before him (and David Walliams). He goes in search of the man behind the headlines, the lawyer who was covered for almost three decades by a gown and horsehair wig in one of Britain’s most cloistered professions. ’Good on his legal career, and … grammar school… new to me.’ Andrew Sparrow, Senior Political Correspondent Guardian
