Keir Starmer, in his first major television interview after declaring he would leave the prime minister's post, argued that Labour had achieved a parliamentary majority only three times in its existence. Fact-checkers at Full Fact later noted this statement was incorrect, pointing out the party has actually secured majorities on nine occasions led by four distinct figures. The list Starmer gave excluded the 1964 election, when Labour won while previously out of power, and overlooked five additional instances where the party retained a majority while already governing—wins under Clement Attlee, Harold Wilson, and Tony Blair. The error is significant because it came during a high-profile public discussion about Labour's electoral history.
