Team Starmer ‘here to win’ as Labour sets its sights on a May 2024 election

Three years after Jeremy Corbyn left a sleeping bag behind, the leader of the opposition's office is full of bright, energetic, hungry people'

Keir Starmer's team had a few moments to reminisce about the past three years at their regular morning meeting on Tuesday, with one senior aide recalling when their winning leadership team first walked into the leader of the opposition's office.

It had only just been vacated by Jeremy Corbyn's team and in one room, there were assorted revolutionary flags including one from the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. In the next room there was a large bin full to the brim with shredded documents spilling on to the floor. In Corbyn's office was a sleeping bag. You could not have pictured a more symbolic scene," they said.
