LONDON (AP) — For someone often derided as dull, Keir Starmer has delivered a sensational election result. Starmer has led Britain’s Labour Party to a landslide election victory, and on Friday will become prime minister. It’s the latest reinvention for a man who went from human rights attorney to hard-nosed prosecutor and from young radical to middle-aged pragmatist. He became the first Labour Party leader to win a U.K. national election since Tony Blair. The son of a toolmaker, Starmer studied law at university and took on civil liberties cases before becoming chief prosecutor in 2008.
