In his first television interview after stepping down as prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer stated that his party had secured only three parliamentary majorities in its history, listing the 1945, 1997, and 2024 elections. The nonpartisan fact-checking organization Full Fact, however, reported that Labour has actually won nine majorities under four different leaders. According to Full Fact’s analysis, Starmer may have been thinking only of victories achieved while in opposition—1945, 1997, and the omitted 1964—rather than the five further majorities won by sitting Labour governments in 1950, 1966, 1974, 2001, and 2005. The discrepancy matters because it misrepresents the party’s electoral record in a public statement by a former leader.
