Keir Starmer Biography
Keir Rodney Starmer was born in Southwark, London, on 2 September 1962 and grew up in the small town of Oxted in Surrey.
He passed the 11-plus examination and gained entry to Reigate Grammar School, then a voluntary aided state school, although it converted to an independent fee-paying grammar school in 1976 while he was there.
In his teenage years Starmer was active in Labour politics, and was a member of the East Surrey Young Socialists. He was a junior exhibitioner at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama until the age of 18, and played the flute, piano, recorder and violin.
He studied law at the University of Leeds, graduating with a first class Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree in 1985.
He undertook postgraduate studies at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, graduating from the University of Oxford as a Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) in 1986.
Following Labour’s heavy defeat in the 2019 general election, Jeremy Corbyn announced that he would stand down as Leader of the Labour Party. Starmer announced his candidacy in the ensuing leadership election on 4 January 2020, winning multiple endorsements from MPs as well as from the trade union Unison.
Elected to the House of Commons in the 2015 general election, Starmer was appointed to the Shadow Cabinet in October 2016 as Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, after the vote to leave the European Union.
Starmer was selected in December 2014 to be the Labour Party’s prospective parliamentary candidate for the safe Labour constituency of Holborn and St Pancras, following the decision of the sitting MP Frank Dobson to retire. Starmer was elected at the 2015 general election with a majority of 17,048.
He was born second of the four children of Josephine (née Baker), a nurse, and Rodney Starmer, a toolmaker. His mother had Still’s disease.
His parents were Labour Party supporters, and named him after the party’s first parliamentary leader, Keir Hardie.
His late parents were very fond of donkeys, running a small sanctuary for threatened animals in a seven-acre field, which he bought for them in 1996, behind their home near Oxted.
Victoria Starmer, also known as Lady Victoria Starmer is a former solicitor, turned NHS occupational health worker – and the wife of British politician Sir Kier Starmer.
The pair met when they were both working as lawyers in the early 2000s, and Victoria reportedly had to supply Keir with documents for a case he was working on.
The pair then began dating, where they reportedly dined on inexpensive pizzas in Camden pubs.
In 2007, the couple married.
Not much is known about Victoria as the couple keep their relationship relatively private, and Victoria tends to stay out of the public spotlight.
Sir Keir and Victoria have two children together, their son Toby and a daughter.
Determined to shield their family from media attention, their daughter’s name has not been revealed.
Their son and daughter live with them in North London.
The children are allegedly being brought up to recognize their Jewish faith.
