Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, recently faced a series of quickfire questions on the show Never Mind The Ballots, but drew the line at revealing details about his personal life, including his number of past partners.
Refusing to Follow in the Footsteps of Nick Clegg and Theresa May
While former Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg once disclosed in an interview that he had been intimate with "no more than" thirty women, Sir Keir firmly declined to answer a similar question, simply stating, "I'm not going to answer that one."
Similarly, he chose not to emulate former Prime Minister Theresa May, who famously admitted to running through a field of wheat as a mischievous act in her childhood, pointing out that politicians rarely offer candid responses to such inquiries.
Insights from the Quickfire Round
During the quickfire round on Never Mind The Ballots, Sir Keir shared some lighter details about himself, revealing that his favorite crisps are salt and vinegar and his preferred drink after a long day is Pale Ale. He also mentioned that he does not have any tattoos.
Despite a slight miscalculation regarding the price of milk, estimating it at £1.10 when it is closer to 90p, Sir Keir did mention that he enjoys sharing vegetarian curries with his family, particularly opting for chana masala.
Personal Beliefs and Faith
When asked about his religious beliefs, Sir Keir clarified that he is not religious, contrasting himself with former Labour leader Tony Blair, who had a more overt connection to faith. He expressed, "No, I'm not. I'm a great believer in faith. But I'm not personally religious."
