In Kyiv

Keir Starmer’s final trip to Kyiv as prime minister underscored his strong relationship with Volodymyr Zelensky and his commitment to Ukraine as he prepared to hand over leadership to Andy Burnham. During a candid final interview, he reflected on a turbulent two years in office, acknowledging political missteps and the toll on his family while expressing confidence in Labour’s prospects. His final days focused on international alliances and securing the long‑promised Hillsborough Law, with his closing engagements centred on people affected by injustice rather than political figures.
