Keir Starmer, the UK Labour Party leader, has been criticized for his policies and leadership style. Critics argue that he has abandoned the party's traditions of supporting working people and vulnerable communities, and that his government would serve multinational corporations. There are concerns about his handling of issues such as farming, environmental policies, and public health.
