Sir Keir Starmer has revealed the moment he considered quitting as Labour leader.
Sir Keir admitted he thought of stepping down as leader after Labour lost both the Hartlepool by-election and council seats in 2021.
In an interview with Sky News on Wednesday (1 May), he said: “It really hit me because my job was to turn around the party and take us from defeat to success and losing hurts in politics.
“It was a very very low moment.”
Sir Keir added: “I did [consider quitting] because I didn’t feel that I should be bigger than the party and that if i couldn’t bring about the change then there should be a change.”
