Keir Starmer shouldn’t be complacent about his UK Labour Party’s prospects in the next general election, even after winning hundreds of seats in last week’s local vote, former Prime Minister Tony Blair warned.
Starmer has “done a pretty good job pulling the Labour party back from where it was,” Blair, who led the Labour Party from 1994 to 2007, said in a Bloomberg TV interview on Tuesday. “But of course you can’t be complacent about these things at all.”
