Sir Keir puts public service first
Sir Keir Starmer has cancelled his summer holiday plans to deal with a surge of violent riots across the country. Instead of vacationing in Europe with his family, the Prime Minister will split his time between Downing Street and his Buckinghamshire country home, Chequers.
No holiday for the PM
A source from No10 emphasized Sir Keir's dedication to public service, stating that he is focused on delivering for working people and ensuring their safety. The decision to cancel his holiday echoes the commitment of countless police officers who have sacrificed their leave to address the ongoing unrest.
Comparison to past leaders
Former PM Boris Johnson had previously suggested that Sir Keir should take a break, as he believed the Labour leader's leadership had not made a significant impact. However, historical instances, such as Mr. Johnson's own delay in returning during the 2011 riots and Dominic Raab's absence during the Afghanistan crisis in 2021, highlight the importance of leadership presence during challenging times.
