KEIR Starmer has been in No10 only four months, but he met the first challenge to his leadership yesterday in the form of Pride of Britain hero Florrie Bark...
The eight-year-old Child of Courage award winner told the PM he had better watch out as she warned him: "I'm going to take over." The cheeky jibe came after Mr Starmer invited all the winners of the Daily Mirror's Pride of Britain Awards, with TSB, to a special reception in No10, the day after the starstudded ceremony in London.
After he listened to their stories of inspiration, the PM promised to help them make the country better.
Mr Starmer was asked by one winner for a pay rise for paramedics; said he would meet with domestic abuse campaigners; chatted with those fighting for contaminated blood compensation - and was even ordered to sort out controversial VAR in football.
Hetti Barkworth-Nanton and Diana Parkes won a Special Recognition award for their tireless work campaigning for children living in domestic abuse situations.
