Starmer Concerned by EU’s Shift to Right as France Calls Vote

Britain’s main opposition leader Keir Starmer said he’s concerned with results of recent elections in the European Parliament, which prompted France’s decision to call a snap election that risks building support for the far right.

Starmer, whose left-wing Labour Party is leading the Conservatives in polls less than three weeks before the UK election, said, “I want to see progressive parties succeed in Europe and I’m concerned where I see right or very right wing politics taking hold.”
