Keir Starmer jokes about life after being prime minister

Keir Starmer, who is about to leave his role as UK prime minister, has been making light-hearted comments about what he might do next. According to friends, he has joked about taking a cookery class, with one person noting that he “only makes two meals” and could use the practice. Another suggestion was that he might start by cutting his father-in-law's hedge, and if he does well, move on to mowing lawns. However, it remains unclear whether these are serious plans or just jokes. Some observers believe Starmer may turn to international work, given his background as a human rights lawyer and former director of public prosecutions. Starmer has not made any official announcement about his future. He became Labour leader in 2020 and led the party to a general election victory, serving as prime minister for several years. His departure marks the end of a significant period in British politics. As he prepares to leave Downing Street, many are watching to see whether he will take on a global role or opt for a quieter life.
